It is my understanding that wire transfers are available immediately but somebody has just told me they think there is a few days waiting-for-clearance time. The bank in question is Permanent TSB.

Also, does the clearance time (if any) depend on the amount of money involved?

Thanks.

It depends on which way the sender sent the funds. There is a same day option, whereby the funds will be in the account at the close of business on the day they were sent. The 'standard' time is 5 working days from the US to here. The funds hit your account on the 5th day and they are clear instantly from then.
