It's due to a lack of footfall.
Bank of Ireland is temporarily closing 101 of its branches tomorrow because of coronavirus.
It's due to a big reduction in footfall over the past ten days.
However they say 161 of its branches will stay open.
“We’re constantly reviewing our operations to ensure we are providing the right supports for customers through this challenging period. These changes help us to respond to the most pressing needs of our customers right now - that’s support in managing the impact of coronavirus on their personal finances and on their businesses,” said Gavin Kelly, chief executive of the group’s Retail Ireland unit.
“These changes also refocus our branch network to our larger locations, which will help us support social distancing. This is extremely important for our customers and colleagues, whose safety and wellbeing is our priority. This will complement the enhanced cleaning and hygiene measures we have in place in our branches.”
Meanwhile, AIB says its branches remain open to customers, except for those located on college campuses.
