Frank Feighan (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the closure of 25 branches with a loss of more than 150 jobs by National Irish Bank and the consequent undermining of banking services for tens of thousands of customers across the country, particularly in counties Roscommon, Leitrim, Cavan, Donegal and Longford; and the crippling announcement that Allied Irish Banks is set to impose premium levies on loans to thousands of Irish businesses which will result in further business closures and job losses.
