We can see the number of accounts that have been closed in the questionnaire the bank has provided to us. Since March last year, 122,000 accounts were closed. Some 8,700 of those included in the numbers provided were closed by Ulster Bank itself. Is that not right? These are dormant accounts that massage the figures to make it look as if more individuals are closing their accounts. Some 8,700 of these accounts were closed by the bank.
