The level of data requested is not available on ATMs operating in Ireland.
The Banking and Payments Federation of Ireland (BPFI) collects data on the total number of bank operated ATMs cross the country. This has been declining in recent years mainly because banks have sold, mainly offsite, ATMs to Independent ATM Deployers (IADs) and more recently also due to branch closures.
The latest data from the BPFI shows that in December 2021 there were 1,787 ATMs operated by banks in Ireland. This figure is down from 2,353 in December 2020.
The BPFI do not have sight of whether the IADs maintained or closed ATMs after the recent purchases. However it estimates that the total number of ATMs (operated by banks and IADs) was approximately 2,900 in December 2021.
