Hi all,
Due to money laundering legislation in 2010 to withdraw money from a investment fund you now have to provide certified copies of ID and proof of address.
One of the approved bodies are policemen and I did this once before ten years ago. So this evening I bring in a photocopy of my passport and the Irish passport to Store street and asked the policeman would he please stamp and sign the photocopy.
He told me that they have been instructed not to do it any more. Specifically the reason was because some documentation department located in Phoenix park had gone on some specialist training and they were upset that others without the training were doing this function?! I enquired further but apparently he was specifically directed by their superintendent not to.
Seriously... oh Ireland. Thoughts?
