Very interesting that Bank of Ireland are hiring 150 technology staff while they also are closing branches and letting go of their "financial" employees, how times have changed. Around 2003 bank of Ireland outsourced their then IT section to Hewlett. Packard because it was a "non core" function and they wanted to concentrate on their core financial activities. Then that outsourced IT section caught the then CEO Mike Soden trying to book escorts on a business trip to Las Vegas.
Now it looks like IT is becoming a core function and physical branches and tellers are being done away with.
