Daly cannot recall asking if name would be taken off list

Former Anglo Irish Bank company secretary Bernard Daly told gardaí he couldn’t recall asking a subordinate if he would be willing to delete a bank account from a list being provided to Revenue.

Day 22 of the trial of three former Anglo officials heard that Mr Daly was head of banking supervision in the Central Bank before joining Anglo in 1993, rising to company secretary in 2003. He told gardaí he was appointed to deal with the Revenue audit because of his “public service background”.

Mr Daly also said he was not aware that an account belonging to the brother-in-law of former Anglo chairman Sean FitzPatrick was left off a list of non-residents accounts given to Revenue.
