AIB will tell an Oireachtas committee today that its previous plans to make 70 branches cashless are now “off the agenda”.

The bank u-turned after a backlash to the plans during the summer. It will tell the Oireachtas Finance Committee that it was “proven wrong” that its plans would meet customers’ “cash needs and expectations”.
