The financial institutions involved are Bank of Ireland, National Irish Bank (later known as Danske Bank), Irish Life and Permanent, Ulster Bank, ACC Bank, Bank of Scotland Ireland and Irish Nationwide Building Society (INBS). Mr Farrell told the court he never received monies from Mr Lynn and “the loans were for the properties full stop”. He said he had a conversation with Mr Lynn about it and Mr Lynn told him this was a clerical error due to him being out of the country so much and that he would fix it. “The reason I remember the conversation was that he asked me, ‘Has it damaged my relationship with the bank?’” Mr Farrell said. Mr Comiskey O’Keeffe said the document the defence had received was redacted and they were unable to say who it was sent to.
