Glitch gives ATM users ‘free money’

THERE were long queues outside Bank of Ireland ATM machines across Dublin last evening after a technical glitch meant bank machines appeared to be handing out “free money”.

The queues grew rapidly by late last night due to messaging on Twitter and Facebook.

However, Bank of Ireland last night explained it “wasn’t free money” but a consequence of their technical glitch which meant they and their customers were frozen out of their bank accounts.
