Description
National Irish Bank is to make 150 people redundant, which amounts to almost a quarter of its workforce of 634. It is closing 25 of its 58 branches, suggesting that the continuing recession in the financial services industry is a major factor. The Danish-owned bank said the restructuring plan involves the closure of 43 per cent of its branch network. The redundancies will occur on a phased basis, beginning in early 2010 and concluding by mid-2011.
