Dispute leaves ATMs empty

A NUMBER of ATMs are out of cash this morning in larger urban centres, such as Dublin, Cork and Waterford, ahead of this weekend’s bank holiday.

The crisis affecting many Bank of Ireland-run ATMs is due to a dispute with Brinks-Allied over the transport of cash.

The security firm stopped their service to the bank earlier this week after both sides failed to reach an agreement over liability for losses in cases of theft.
