100% true and correct. but that kind of culture is not being cultivated, even at Uni level. even just asking questions is frowned upon at Uni where i attended. the attitude to 'fighting back' is frowned upon in Irish society, which is odd given Irish history

I drove to the bank and arrived 10 minutes before the advertised closing time. A brylcreemed Lynx Africa slip-on-shoe wearin' kid in a suit that advertised his still young but sizeable gut told myself and an old woman they were locked and to go home. It was clear the elderly lady needed to get money out to do her shopping. When it was put to him that the bank didn't close for another 10 minutes, he shrugged and said he was told to stand there. Lovely people. This news does not surprise.

2 fingers to the taxpayer who bailed them out 65billion unbelievable and no response from goverment

Its time for all AIB customers to close their accounts in protest AIB would soon change their mind if that was to happen we have a totally gutless finance minister that will do nothing only sit on his hands its a disgrace and AIB should be ashamed of themselves and so should Paschal Donohoe

Closing your account in protest - those who can use the internet and do pay banking fees - closing their accounts en masse would be the only way to force the banks to listen.

Last day I went into AIB on Grafton St it took me about 10 minutes to find out where I was supposed to go to do my business. I was then told that I had to make an appointment. That took another 20 minutes. Subsequent to that I arrived for my appointment and was kept waiting for nearly an hour. Service level is beyond disappointing. I’m happy to pay for service if I have to, but we all need service to do the non regular pieces of business.

I'm going to close my account if they try to go cashless again. The only way to beat them at their own game is to take your money out of their bank. Then their fractional reserve banking scheme falls apart.

It may also mean there's no money supply on reserve at this bank. That is very worrisome.

Gov should change bank licences to ensure minimum cash services.
