Ulster Bank To Close 22 Branches
Ulster Bank is to close 22 branches and sub-offices across Ireland.
Eleven of the closures will be made in Northern Ireland and are expected to be brought into effect in June.
The branches are: Jordanstown; Longstone Street, Lisburn; Knock and Shaftesbury Square, Belfast; Harryville near Ballymena; Carryduff near Belfast and Dromore in County Tyrone.
The sub-offices due to close in Northern Ireland are: Ardglass in County Down, Moy in County Tyrone, Rosslea in County Fermanagh and Saintfield in County Down.
The Republic of Ireland branches are: Belturbet, County Cavan; Castlepollard, County Westmeath; Glenamaddy, County Galway; Killeshandra, County Cavan and Kilnaleck, County Cavan.
The following sub-offices will close: Carrigallen, County Cavan; Delvin, County Westmeath; Kilcormac, County Offaly; Kilkelly, County Mayo; Rathangan, County Kildare and Swanlinbar, County Cavan.
The bank said the closures would not cause any additional job losses.
Larry Broderick of the Irish Bank Officials Association said: "Staff throughout Ulster Bank have worked strenuously to restore the bank's reputation, especially in the wake of the catastrophic IT malfunction last year - which created major difficulties for hundreds of thousands of customers.
"They are naturally concerned about any developments that might undermine customer confidence."
Ulster Bank currently has 146 branches in the Republic of Ireland and 90 in Northern Ireland.
The bank announced last January that it would cut its workforce in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland by 950 staff.
It announced 350 jobs would be lost in Northern Ireland, with the remaining 600 being lost in the Republic.
Ulster Bank is the third biggest bank in Ireland and is owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland.
