Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Banking Issues: Discussion

Dr. Colin Hunt:

No. We amalgamated six branches in particular areas. For instance, in Dublin we had branches on Westmoreland Street, Dame Street and Grafton Street. You could have thrown a stone between these three branches. They were there for historic reasons going back to the formation of the group in 1965. In that instance, we decided to close the Westmoreland Street branch.
