Ex-Anglo official's position 'fortified', say lawyers

An ex-Anglo Irish Bank official jailed for conspiring to conceal bank accounts from the Revenue Commissioners will make a renewed bail application next month pending the outcome of his appeal in January.

Bernard Daly (aged 67), of Collins Avenue West, Whitehall, Dublin, had pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to furnishing false information and conspiring to defraud the Revenue Commissioners as well as conspring to delete accounts from the bank's internal system.
