Ex-Anglo treasury boss faces trial

A former head of treasury at the former Anglo Irish Bank is to stand trial on revenue offences.

Tiernan O’Mahoney is accused of hiding a bank account from the Revenue Commissioners and is to face trial on indictment, Dublin District Court was told yesterday.

Mr O’Mahoney, aged 54, was the bank’s head of treasury from 1985 until 2005 — Anglo subsequently collapsed, was nationalised in 2009 and later rebranded the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC), which is now in special liquidation.
