An internal memo within Irish Nationwide Building Society asked that a mortgage application by Michael Lynn be prioritised as he was “under pressure to close”, his trial has heard.

Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard evidence on Monday of various mortgage applications Mr Lynn made to the building society between September and December 2006 for 10 residential investment properties.
