Judge Moriarty made his ruling on the case in the High Court this afternoon.

The 66 year old former Anglo Irish Bank chairman, with an address at Whitshed road in Greystones, faces 27 charges, including making a misleading, false or deceptive statement to auditors and of furnishing false information from 2002 to 2007.

He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
