A computer login used to make changes to bank accounts connected to former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick shouldn't have been used by anyone outside the bank's IT department, the Circuit Criminal Court has heard.

A computer login used to make changes to bank accounts connected to former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick should not have been used by anyone outside the bank's IT department, the Circuit Criminal Court has heard.

The trial of three former Anglo officials who deny hiding bank accounts from Revenue in an alleged tax evasion scheme has been told that the login was used to make changes to several accounts including one in the name of Mr FitzPatrick's brother-in-law John Peter O'Toole.

The bank's former head of IT, Michael Campbell, told the jury that a login used by IT personnel for the bank's computer records was the same one used in November 1999 to make a change to an address on the account of Mr O'Toole.

62-year-old Aoife Maguire of Rothe Abbey, South Circular Road, Kilmainham, Dublin, 56-year-old Tiarnan O'Mahoney of Glen Pines, Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow and 67-year-old Bernard Daly of Collins Avenue West, Whitehall, Dublin have pleaded not guilty to seven counts .
