Overview of Banking Sector: Permanent TSB

Mr. Jeremy Masding:
The Deputy makes a good point. Interestingly, on the roadshows, when we are talking about Permanent TSB, 76 branches seems to be very attractive to investors in a world that is becoming more digital. I inherited 92. I had to close 16 using an economic threshold. All things being equal, 76 is right-sized and will be a source of advantage over time.
