A court's heard former Anglo Irish Bank Chairman Sean FitzPatrick expressed regret that he had not been more involved in the Maple Ten loans.

Matt Moran, who was Anglo's Chief Financial officer has given evidence that Mr FitzPatrick also questioned whether it was the 'right transaction to do'.

The bank's former Chairman along with former directors Willie McAteer and Pat Whelan deny charges of providing unlawful financial assistance to the Quinn family and the Maple Ten group of investors for the purchase of shares in July 2008.
