The closures will begin from the end of September and will leave 169 Bank of Ireland branches operating in the Republic. The company has stated that digital banking reaching a "tipping point" is a reason for the decision.
The branches that are closing are predominantly self-service locations and the Dublin branches that are affected are listed below:
- James Street
- Law Library
- Phibsboro
- Ballycoolin
- Killester
- Merrion Road
- Rathmines
