    Problem statement: I hold a bank account with Bank Of Ireland. I need a bank draft for EUR 175.00 payable to Secretary General, Department of Justice and Equality [which is less than your min limit or EUR 500]

    Questions:
    • [1] The last update on thread https://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2057876584 [last updated on 06 Nov 2019] says "It is certainly a facility to purchase a draft for less than €500 when it is required for the Department of Justice and Equality once you hold an active bank account with us". Can you please confirm that this still holds? 
    • [2] From https://www.bankofireland.com/help-centre/faq/can-get-bank-draft-long-take/ I understand "A Bank Draft requested in branch and intended for a payee based in the Republic of Ireland or the UK can usually be provided there and then". Can you please confirm that this is still true? Nothing indicates anything different. I ask in case you have added an online option post COVID-19.
    • [3] From https://www.bankofireland.com/help-centre/branch-opening-during-covid-19/#panel1 I see that Dundrum branch [this is where I bank] is open from Monday – Friday from 10 am – 4 pm unless. Do any additional time restrictions apply when I visit the branch looking for a bank draft? 
    [*]

    Thanks in advance for your time and help.
