The jury in the trial of former Anglo Irish Bank Chief Executive David Drumm has been sent home for the night and will resume its deliberations in the morning.

The nine men and three women have spent seven hours and ten minutes considering their verdicts.

Judge Karen O'Connor told them to take a break from their deliberations and reminded them of the warnings she had previously given to them.

This is day 85 of the trial which began in January.

Mr Drumm has pleaded not guilty to conspiring with others, to dishonestly make Anglo's balance sheet look better by €7.2bn between March and September 2008.

He also denies knowingly presenting false figures to the market in December 2008.

The prosecution said Mr Drumm did this deliberately and dishonestly to induce people to invest in or leave their money in Anglo, even when he and others "knew it was going down the tubes".

Mr Drumm said the transactions were not dishonest and were legitimate balance sheet management carried openly and transparently while trying to protect the bank.
