Jobs Committee calls on ODCE Director to address Committee after collapse of Fitzpatrick case

Committee Chair, Mary Butler TD, said: “The Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) admitted this week to very serious failures in its investigation into the actions of the former chairman of Anglo Irish Bank, Mr. Seán Fitzpatrick.”

“As the ODCE comes under the remit of the Joint Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, we have today written to its director, Mr. Ian Drennan, requesting that he come before the Committee as a matter of urgency to give an account of the events that led to the collapse of the case and to brief us on the ODCE’s operations in light of the case.”
