Ex-Anglo chairman Seán FitzPatrick and two former colleagues have been sent forward for trial for providing “unlawful financial assistance” to 16 individuals.

A liquidator has been appointed to the former holding company behind Seán Quinn’s global business empire.

Former Anglo Irish Bank chairman and chief executive Sean FitzPatrick is to go on trial accused of unlawfully helping to back a group of investors – including members of Sean Quinn's family – to buy shares in the financial institution in 2008.
