Oireachtas committee to question head of ODCE on collapse of Sean FitzPatrick trial

The head of the State's corporate law watchdog is expected to discuss his department's investigation into Sean Fitzpatrick at an Oireachtas committee today.

Ian Drennan's Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) was heavily criticised during the trial of the Anglo Irish Bank Chairman which ultimately collapsed in part due to unease over the ODCE's handling of the investigation.
