Banks closing days over easter?

motorguy

What days are the banks in NI closing over easter?

Am working on the mainland at the moment and will be back in the North Good Friday -> Monday and need to get to a Bank of Ireland branch.

isnt the clue in the title - BANK HOLIDAYS? so they are shut Good friday and Easter Monday (which are BANK HOLIDAYS) but if they are usually open on a Saturday then will be open.
Same all over GB

It's a wee bit different here lindens, no need to be cheeky

Having said that, Motorguy, I still don't know either. The health service/civil service get Mon & Tues. Post offices are different still

All I know is ya can't get a pint on Good Friday until 5 o'clock - nowt GOOD about Good Friday

Clearly not, otherwise i wouldnt be asking.

I queried it because Bank of Ireland may have taken the Irish holidays, thus might have been open friday.

Likewise i cant recall if the banks close on the Saturday or not, if they are closed on the friday and monday.

Also, taking the Monday and Tuesday is more common in NI than taking the friday and monday, and i didnt know if that applied to the banks.

I dont want to make a 30 mile return trek to my local branch on one of my few days home only to find out they're not open.

And technically, NI isnt part of GB, which is normally considered to be the mainland, and thus sometimes theres an Irish slant on things and sometimes its a mainland slant on things.

NI is not part of GB, so you can't just assume we will have the same holidays. Good Friday is not a public holiday here as we get Easter Tue. Not sure what the banks do though.

Paul only asked what days they were closed. The lid of the worm can is never very tight........
