AIB Confirms Job Losses

AIB has confirmed there will be a number of job losses across its retail and business banking network.

The bank said it will be on a voluntary basis and no more than 150 jobs will be lost.

Billy Barrett, Senior Industrial Relations Officer with the Financial Services Union (FSU), said: "While the redundancies are being carried out under agreed terms, the FSU is concerned about the future structure of AIB and the impact on staffing levels across the network.

"We have sought assurances from the Bank that the current round of redundancies will not add to the already increased workload and stress on members in AIB."
