Noonan’s home village among those affected by closure of 44 AIB branches

Finance Minister Michael Noonan’s home village was directly affected by the closure of its three nearest AIB bank branches, which shut yesterday along with 41 others across the country.

Mr Noonan was born in Loughill, Co Limerick, which until yesterday was served by AIB branches in Glin, Foynes, and Tarbert, all of which closed for the last time yesterday.

People living on the Limerick side of the Shannon estuary now have to travel to branches in either Newcastlewest or Listowel.
