It will return to court at 2pm on WednesdayMr Lynn of Millbrook Court, Redcross, Co Wicklow, is on trial accused of the theft of about €27 million from seven financial institutions.

The financial institutions involved are Bank of Ireland, National Irish Bank , Irish Life & Permanent, Ulster Bank, ACC Bank, Bank of Scotland Ireland and Irish Nationwide Building Society. Mr Lynn has told the trial that the banks were aware he had multiple loans on the same properties and that this was “custom and practice” among bankers in Celtic Tiger Ireland. He has said he had “secret deals” with a number of bankers, who gave him permission to use the loan money for his property developments abroad.
He told the court he and former Irish Nationwide chief executive Michael Fingleton were involved in a secret profit-share agreement in relation to a property development in Portugal.
