David Drumm’s bail conditions maintained

Former Anglo Irish Bank chief executive David Drumm has lost a bid to relax his bail conditions, with a judge ruling it is “not unreasonable” that he should sign on at a garda station every day.

Mr Drumm appeared before Dublin Circuit Criminal Court yesterday where his solicitor applied to reduce his signing-on conditions to once a week instead of once daily.

Mr Drumm, aged 49, with an address in Skerries, Co Dublin, has been charged with 33 counts under two separate bills concerning alleged offences committed at the now defunct bank. He has yet to enter a plea to the charges. He is facing two trials. The first has been set down for April next year and the second is due to take place in January, 2018.
