Theresa May has to explain in detail how her...

- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Jul 2018)
Rose Conway Walsh: I wish to raise the issue of pension changes today, which were meant to address the anomalies in the 2012 legislation.

Rose Conway Walsh: Ms McDonagh has said she wants to ensure the digital service is combined with a physical presence and a personal touch in branches and "increasing our full-service branches by more than 160%." There was a time when Bank of Ireland had full service which was cut back such that customers were only able to make certain transactions on certain days and so on. Is this a reversal of that policy?
