Ulster Bank has said “yes” to the sale in Cork city centre of two of its former bank branches for close to €1m per branch — at Winthrop St and St Patrick St.

As part of the withdrawal of the bank from the Republic of Ireland last year, Ulster Bank put 39 branches up for sale in three tranches in 2023.
