Recently I went into an Irish Nationwide in Dublin as I wanted to withdraw my €20,000 which I had been patiently waiting on the demutialisation for (gave up on that Idea !) .. Anyway - I went into A branch (not even where I'd opened the account in the first place) armed with my lodgement book - which hadn't be updated since I opened the account in 2004 -the girl updated the book and I was given a cheque for the 20grand. I was asked who I wanted the cheque made out to .. and off I went with my cheque in hand - and was NEVER even asked for ID !! So please be carefull with those lodgement books .. I could have found that book on the ground for all that lassie cared .. very very bad .. could not believe it !
