A town that has had no banking facilities for more than four months is to have services restored tomorrow.
The Bank of Ireland branch in Graiguenamanagh, Co Kilkenny, was partially demolished and subsequently closed following a spectacular raid in June.
Since then, residents of the town, which has no other bank, have had to travel to neighbouring towns to avail of banking services.
A Bank of Ireland spokesman said “the new ATM is more secure”, and should “be less capable of being damaged or stolen”, and that rebuilding the branch cost an estimated €500,000, which represented a “significant investment”.
