Uh-oh! Bank Of Ireland cards are experiencing ‘technical difficulties’
If you're buying food today, or trying to top-up your Leap Card, or pay a bill you might run into a spot of trouble if you're a Bank Of Ireland customer.
That's because the bank is experiencing 'technical difficulties,' and a lot of its cards simply aren't working.
