Ulster Bank to close 22 branches across Ireland leading to loss of more than 200 jobs

Ulster Bank is to close 22 branches across Ireland.

Management said that - in the past week - an average of 30 people per day used the branches that are set to close, while 62% of all transactions last year were digital.

220 jobs are also to go in the organisation, as part of the restructuring process.

Five branches in Dublin are to close and four in Cork. Two branches will close in each of Galway, Limerick, Donegal and Cavan.

Mayo, Sligo, Monaghan, Offaly and Longford are all to lose one branch.

The closures are scheduled for June and September and the bank has said it hopes the redundencies will be voluntary. It also said that supports will be put in place to assist affected customers.

The restructuring will also involve an upgrade of branches and the addition of two mobile banks which will travel to rural areas.
