Mr Lynn is on trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court accused of the theft of around €27 million from seven financial institutions. Mr Lynn, of Millbrook Court, Redcross, Co Wicklow, has pleaded not guilty to 21 counts of theft in Dublin between October 23, 2006 and April 20, 2007. Mr MacCarthy said the security for the loan that Mr Lynn was offering was first legal charge for the properties. Paul Comiskey O'Keeffe BL, defending Mr Lynn, told the court it is accepted by Mr Lynn that the signature is not that of Ms McAleenan.
