A total of sixteen branches - including four in Dublin, four in Cork, three in Tipperary, and branches Donegal Town, Ennniscorthy, Westport and Waterford will be closed. Two branches in Dublin - Tyrrelstown and Coolock, will convert to self-service while the St Stephen’s Green branch is expected to close sometime next year.
A spokesperson for the bank said the changes will be implemented “as a matter of urgency”.
“All staff will be given the option of accepting a voluntary severance package or transferring to another branch. We have begun a 30 day consultation period will all our staff in this regard,” the spokesperson added.
The restructuring follows on negotiations with the Troika and the submission of a detailed viability plan by the bank to the European Commission.
