If one can be found. I was in the bank where I have had an account for 70 years, at the old home of the Parliament of Ireland at 2 College Green. I had not been there for a long time because the bank keeps pushing one out. There are no services. One cannot get this and one cannot do that. I was amazed at the things the bank will not allow one to do with one's own money. The bank will not cash a cheque over the counter. It is the customer's money. It will not send less than €3,000 or more than €5,000 or whatever is the rule. Every transaction one tries to make as an individual citizen is hammered. I have recently been buying a flat with some of the proceeds of the ten libel actions I took after the last presidential election.
