AIB to spend €1.6m on new staff uniforms

THOUSANDS of staff at AIB have been offered the chance to get a new uniform — just over two years since they last got one.

The bank, which is owned by the state, sent a memo to employees saying anyone who wants a new uniform can have one.

An AIB spokesman said: “Up to assistant manager level, staff in branches and other locations can wear the uniform. The last time the bank provided the opportunity for staff to replace garments was in January 2009.”
