Bank of Ireland has provided officials in my Department with the following update in relation to the Deputy's question:
“In the context of recent changes to the branch network, the Bank committed to ensuring that no town would be left without access to an ATM. In early 2021, the Bank identified four locations where it was closing a branch where there was no alternative ATM facility. In two of these locations (Arva and Kilkee) an alternative ATM service was put in place, and consequently the Bank removed its ATM service when the branch closed. In two locations (Durrow and Glenties) arrangements are being made for an ATM to be provided by an alternative supplier, and the Bank will retain its ATM until that alternative service is in place.”
