I am, actually. The face-to-face customer service is very good. Historically, I always found it very good with Bank of Ireland, whose representatives have left, but that bank has massively reduced the number of staff and services available. It does not hugely affect me but it affects many of my constituents.

Permanent TSB is taking on these new branches. How many new employees will it be taking on? Will it essentially have a larger network staffed by the same number of people?
