Fitzpatrick Trial Unlikely Before 2014

The trial of former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick is unlikely to happen before the end of 2014.

The 64-year-old is facing a total of 12 charges in connection with financial irregularities at the bank over a six-year period. He has yet to enter a plea.

Mr FitzPatrick first appeared at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court when the charges were sent forward from the District Court earlier this month.

Judge Mary Ellen was told that Mr FitzPatrick is "ultimately" likely to take a trial date. She told the court that his will probably be towards the end of 2014.
