Former Anglo exec 'quite relaxed' about Maple ten loans

A former executive on the board of Anglo Irish Bank has said he was informed about the Maple ten loans and felt quite relaxed that the transactions were being handled in a proper way.

Declan Quilligan, who headed up the bank's UK operations, has been giving evidence at the trial of former Anglo Chairman Sean FitzPatrick, and directors Pat Whelan and Willie McAteer, who deny providing unlawful financial assistance to the Maple developers and the family of former billionaire Sean Quinn to buy Anglo shares in July 2008.
