People yanking their deposits at all ATM's and Banks in Dublin

Softshell

What's the story with last week? Everyone seems to be yanking their money and the queues were unusually long at all ATM's and also within the bank's themselves. I'm not just talking about one bank - every bank in Dublin seemed to be busy with people withdrawing. What's the event? Is there any issues at the moment with the Greek thing? How does it work out?

Didn't notice anything similar in Cork during the week.

As this is your first post, I doubt the motives of this OP.

Sorry, I'm new to this forum and read previous threads but there's no intro section on the Banks area. No motives - I just say what I observe.

I was around Dublin and Meath over the weekend and didn't notice any unusual activity. Given that most ATM machines have an upper limit on what you can withdraw of a few hundred euro, if people were concerned about the safety of their deposits, they wouldn't be using an ATM to withdraw them. Besides, it's usually current accounts that have ATM cards; not deposit accounts.

I'd imagine that there was some local reason why you noticed queues at the ATM machines.

I'm guessing there wasn't, and this is some journo trying to create a panic and some news (new account? 4am? Straight in here? Come on!).

Also, how does one "yank a deposit"? Or do I really want to know?

Think this thread is started by a "Yanker":D

Kapitalflucht. If Ireland leaves the Euro, the punt will devalue to a lot less than 0.787564, or whatever it was. Get your Euros in to a German bank or else hold the readies under the bed in case there are future restrictions on withdrawing money.

People filling their pockets with cash in advance of a trip to the pub I would say - It was a busy sporting weekend!

Unusually the ATM which is actually in the pub I was at, still had plenty of cash at 10pm on saturday night. It's usually been cleared out by dinner time.

Perhaps they were taking out first communion money. Perhaps Dunnes had a sale. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps..
