Lawyers for solicitor Thomas Byrne, who is believed to owe at least €36m to a number of banks, have said Mr Byrne intends to co-operate with the inquiries into his financial affairs in any way possible.
In a statement, Mr Byrne also criticised some recent media coverage of his affairs.
Last week the High Court heard that Mr Byrne's whereabouts were 'unknown', but he turned up in the court today for two separate sets of proceedings against him.
IIB Bank is seeking the return of €9m loaned to Mr Byrne in September. The bank obtained orders freezing Mr Byrne's accounts last week.
But the court heard that the €9m had already gone from Mr Byrne's accounts by the time the freezing orders came into force.
Senior counsel Michael Cush said that as a result of documents received from National Irish Bank, it could be seen that the €9m had been 'diminished' and payments had been made to third parties. IIB Bank now wants to make various inquiries to find out where the money has gone.
Mr Justice Frank Clarke continued the freezing orders. He also ordered that IIB Bank be permitted to make inquiries of anyone named as having received payments out of Mr Byrne's account since the €9m loan was paid into the account on September 10. The proceedings taken by IIB Bank will come back before the High Court next Monday afternoon.
It is also understood that Irish Nationwide is looking for €10.5m from Mr Byrne, the EBS is looking for €12.5m and Anglo Irish bank is looking for €4m.
The Law Society is also taking proceedings against Mr Byrne. Those proceedings were back before the President of the High Court, Mr Justice Richard Johnson this morning. They were heard in public.
The High Court heard that Mr Byrne's lawyers agreed to the continuation of freezing orders against his accounts and also agreed to the continuation of orders forbidding him to practice as a solicitor. Those proceedings are also due back before the High Court next Monday.
In a statement issued through his solicitor, David Christie, Mr Byrne said he deplored the 'unworthy, idle, hurtful and irrelevant speculation' about his domestic and private life that has appeared in certain media coverage, including unfounded assertions that he had absconded.
The statement continued that Mr Byrne was determined to address all the issues relevant to the situation now confronting him. He said he was confident all the facts surrounding this matter would be made clear in due course.
