Sinn Féin TD for Clare, Violet-Anne Wynne, will host an online public meeting on Thursday 18th March at 7.30pm calling for the Bank of Ireland branches in Tulla, Kilkee and Miltown Malbay, to stay open.
Deputy Wynne said:
“For our towns and communities to thrive, we need our local bank branches to stay open.
“In the middle of a pandemic, when customers and businesses are under severe pressure, Bank of Ireland – which was bailed out to the tune of €4.7 billion by the Irish people – should not be closing local bank branches.
“Keeping our local branches in Tulla, Kilkee, and Miltown Malbay open is crucial for our communities. I will be hosting an online public meeting on Thursday at 7.30pm and I am urging people to attend and to call for these Bank of Ireland branches to stay open.
“There is an important role for the government here. As a key shareholder in Bank of Ireland, the Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe needs to stand up for local communities facing the closure of their bank branches.”
