Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as teacht os comhair an choiste. Tá go leor ceisteanna curtha cheana féin, so I will try not to repeat questions members have already asked. If I do, I ask the Chairman to let me know and I will move on to other questions. I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee.
I know that about four years ago AIB's northern business was restructured and about 50% of branches in the North were closed. It is my understanding that that is being reviewed again. How many branches does AIB expect to close? Will this closure of branches lead to closures of any of the six remaining business centres in the North? What will be the impact of these closures on the business as a whole?
