Former solicitor Michael Lynn has denied he told his multi-million euro theft trial a “pack of lies” in relation to alleged secret deals he had with senior Irish bankers.

Prosecution counsel on Monday put it to Mr Lynn, 53, that he had been dishonest in his evidence to the jury in which he alleged he had permission from a number of banks to use mortgage loan money to pay for his property developments abroad.
