A statement from Anglo Irish Bank, now IBRC, said: "IBRC can confirm that it issued proceedings ... 27 November 2012 against Ernst & Young, chartered accountants.
"These proceedings relate to the role of Ernst & Young as auditors of Anglo Irish Bank Plc pre-nationalisation."
A statement from Ernst & Young Ireland said: "Although Ernst & Young is aware of proceedings issued by IBRC, we have not formerly been served with nor have we received a statement of claim setting out the details of the IBRC claim.
"Without more detail, it is difficult for us to comment further. We have consistently said we stand by the quality of our work performed in the Anglo audit and will vigorously defend any such proceedings."
In September last year, it was reported that Ernst & Young Ireland would be hauled before a disciplinary panel by the Irish watchdog, the Chartered Accountants Regulatory Board (CARB).
However, a CARB spokesman said that due to a Director of Public Prosecution request, the disciplinary tribunal had been held last year.
