State's case against Anglo officials 'astonishingly weak', court told

The State's case against two former Anglo Irish Bank officials, jailed for conspiring to conceal or alter bank accounts being sought by the Revenue Commissioners, was astonishingly weak, the Court of Appeal has been told.

Tiarnan O'Mahoney (aged 56) of Glen Pines, Enniskerry, Co Wicklow and Bernard Daly (aged 67), of Collins Avenue, Whitehall, Dublin had denied knowingly furnishing false information and conspiring to defraud the Revenue as well as conspiring to have accounts deleted from the bank's internal system.
