David Drumm has been released from custody after his €150,000 bail package was approved.
The DPP has directed that the former CEO of Anglo Irish Bank be tried before a judge and jury on allegations of financial wrongdoing.
David Drumm was greeted by a scrum of photographers, TV crews and reporters as he left the Criminal Courts of Justice just after 1.30am.
He said “thanks” to those gathered but declined to comment on his case as he posed for photos at the main entrance to the building.

The former CEO of Anglo Irish Bank then left in a car that had been waiting outside.
Earlier, the court approved his in-laws as independent sureties. They agreed to secure €100,000 of his €150,000 bail package.
