In the limited time I have I am honour bound to express my reservations about the way in which the bank approached the bank branch closure issue. One of the branches in my constituency in Dunleer, County Louth, was affected. There is significant disquiet in that community about the impact this will have on local commerce and the local community generally. We would ask Bank of Ireland to review that, at least until such time as the pandemic passes, when it can to a more realistic assessment of the optimisation of its bank branch network. I have a very clear question. Did the 88 bank branches in this jurisdiction receive any guarantee that there will be no more bank branch closures over the next several years?
