Bank of Ireland says all customers should now have wages in their accounts

The bank has apologised for any inconvenience caused.

Updated 9.30 pm

BANK OF IRELAND has confirmed that all customer accounts impacted by today’s delay in payments have now been credited.

The bank apologised for the inconvenience caused to customers who reported that their wages had not been paid.

It had assured customers earlier in the day that they would not be out of pocket as a result of the problem.

A processing delay is believed to have been responsible for the issue.

Irate customers had been contacting Bank of Ireland all day, causing #BankofIreland to trend on Twitter.

    I wonder if this indicates that people don’t give our waterways the respect that they give to our seas?

    Not surprised Lough Ree was the busiest. Very dangerous lake if you don’t know it, full of hire cruisers in the hands of tourists let loose on the river with only ten minutes training.

    Well done to all the RNLI crews. It takes some dedication to leave your warm beds on a wet stormy night and put out to sea to save others. These volunteers dont get half the credit they deserve.

    Agree John even though I was one of those tourists. Hired a small cruiser a few years ago for a week with the wife. Couldn’t believe how bad it got while crossing Lough Ree, it was worse than been out at sea!
