The Finance Minister says the closure of more than a third of Bank of Ireland branches is a reflection of a big change in how people bank.

88 branches will close their doors across the country for the final time today following the Bank’s announcement last March.

These include 4 in Kildare: Celbridge, Kilcullen, Leixlip  HP/Intel and Monasterevin

It’s part of a shift towards online services while some transactions will now be available through the post office.

Paschal Donohoe says while it’s a commercial decision, he knows it’s a difficult day for many
