Appeal against refusal to disqualify ex-director withdrawn

The Director of Corporate Enforcement has withdrawn his appeal against the High Court’s refusal to make a disqualification order against a former senior manager with National Irish Bank.

Dermott Boner, Chesterfield Avenue, Castleknock, Dublin, was the bank’s chief manager of retail during the early to mid-1990s.

He was among several former NIB managers against whom disqualification orders were sought arising from the inquiry into the 1990s tax evasion scandal in the bank.
