A date has been set for a hearing on disclosure in relation to the upcoming trial of former Anglo Irish Bank executives at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
The trial of the former chairman of the bank Sean Fitzpatrick and two former directors - William McAteer and Pat Whelan - was before Judge Martin Nolan last week in order to check on the progress of the case.
At that hearing lawyers for the defence and State indicated that a hearing was necessary to debate issues surrounding the proposed evidence for the trial next January.
The 3 men have been charged with 16 counts of allegedly providing unlawful financial assistance to individuals to buy shares in the bank.
Judge Nolan has set a date of September 2nd for the hearing. He said he did not know what court it would be heard in but said 'presumably' in the Criminal Courts of Justice.
The Judge also did not inform lawyers what judge would be dealing with the case.
In the hearing last week, lawyers for both sides had stressed that it would be beneficial to elect a specific judge to deal with the large volume of material and any preliminary issues leading up to the trial date on January 14th next.
