AIB has written to customers in Cork informing them its branch on St Patrick's Street will close in mid-May.

The closure will bring to an end decades of banking services from AIB on Cork's main thoroughfare and represents another blow for the street which has been left reeling by the departure of a number of high profile outlets.
