The jurors in the trial of former CEO of Anglo Irish Bank Sean Fitzpatrick have been sent home until later this month.

He’s accused of misleading auditors from Ernst & Young in relation to multi-million euro personal loans from 2002 to 2007.

He has also denied furnishing false information to them during that time.

The first witness was due to be called today, but the jury was asked to come back on November 14th to allow some issues to be “thrashed out”.

The trial has already spent four weeks in legal argument.
