The single on-street ATM in the town was out of service last weekend
THE single on-street ATM in Abbeyfeale was out of action all last weekend, according to local councillor Liam Galvin, forcing many people to drive to Listowel nine miles away.
However, he said, when they got there, they found that at least one of the Listowel ATMs was also out of order.
“It is a totally farcical situation where we have one bank-link for the town of Abbeyfeale with over 2,000 people,” he said.
The Bank of Ireland in the town closed last month and the ATM has been removed, leaving just one ATM accessible from the public street.
Moreover, he added, the one on-street ATM they have is very slow
And while an ATM in one of the town’s supermarkets was functioning, the shop is not open to the public 24/7, the Fine Gael councillor pointed out.
“I have now written to the three financial institutions in the town: the Credit Union, the Post Office and the AIB asking them to put in a second ATM.”
