FitzPatrick trial jury yet to hear evidence

The judge in the trial of former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick has told the jury she does not know when the trial will begin in evidence.

The jury of six men and six women were sworn on April 14 and told that the trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court would run for six weeks up until May 28.

The trial has been in legal argument since April 16 and the jurors have been notified by telephone a number of times that the opening of the trial before them would be delayed.
