Sir, – “Confidence in banking eroded by Bank of Ireland ‘glitches’, says consumer advocate” (News, August 17th) reports the Consumer Association of Ireland’s view that trust in the bank has been eroded by this latest technical glitch.
I disagree. There isn’t any trust in Irish banks anyway, so there’s nothing to be eroded.
And, to nobody’s surprise, our passive Central Bank takes no action, merely spelling out its “expectations”. Business as usual. – Yours, etc,

Tramore,
Co Waterford.
Sir, – Bank of Ireland has apologised for the “significant technical outage” which left their ATMs vulnerable this week.
Would it be outrageous to suggest that the thousands of people who cast intelligence and honesty aside, and who queued up to obtain “free money”, should apologise also? – Yours, etc,
