    I know it's not what you asked, but Ulster Bank is closed tomorrow. So I presume AIB will be closed too.

    The 27th and 28th are the days to cover the Bank Holidays.

    Today is a normal working day except for those in the Banks .

    Irish Banks have had long holidays over Christmas for the past 30 years at least.

    Half day on Christmas Eve (except when Xmas Eve falls on Sat and Sun). This is a tradition from the days when Bankers worked away from their home town and was originally allowed to enable bankers to make their way home for Christmas Day.

    The Banks tried to do away with this 'half day' holiday in the eighties but the IBOA made sure it was retained. Maybe Larry Broderick (leader of the IBOA; the bank worker's union) can explain why? He is usually not shy about giving his opinion in public; but then I am sure he's well paid to do so (he has been shy about broadcasting the size of his pay packet - even to IBOA members of 30+ years standing)!

    Christmas Day, Saint Stephen's Day and the day after St Stephen's day; then New Year's Day are also bank holidays.

    Yes it's not a PUBLIC holiday, it's a BANK holiday- the clue is in the name...

    That link is presumes a lot - I would hope that by next Christmas bank employees would have similar holiday arrangements to Public Servants seeing as they will be State Owned.

    Roll on our defined benefit pension.

    But what do our half hour off to cash a cheque entail when we work in a bank? :confused:

    Excellent suggestion... now what are the bank officials going to do with the extra holidays...

    you do of course mean that bank officials will now get the extra 'privilege days' in line with the public sector no ??:rolleyes:

    The majority of bankers have defined-benefit pensions. The 30 minutes (now gone) wasn't for cheque cashing - it was for training.

    As part of their contribution to finding the money to bail out the banks public servants lost their privilege days.

    No they did not..... they will loose the bank time from Jan 1st 2011.


    The 'privilege' days are still being discussed - not gone.
