Closure of Glenamaddy branch of Ulster Bank to proceed despite local efforts

Date Published: 30-Apr-2013

The Glenamaddy branch of Ulster Bank is set to close its doors on May 24th despite local efforts to have the decision reversed.

It’s part of the branch footprint review announced at the start of this year which will see five banks and six sub-offices close in the Republic of Ireland.

Customers of the branch on Church Street in Glenamaddy will have their accounts transferred to Tuam.

The local traders and residents association says talks were held and proposals put forward in a bid to save the facility, however the closure is to proceed.

Padraig Rafftery is Chairman of the group and says the local community is disappointed to have lost a vital banking facility.
