Delayed payment for public service staff this morning

Bank of Ireland has confirmed it is experiencing technical difficulties which have resulted in funds not going through to the bank accounts of some civil servants, teachers and gardaí.

The problem is affecting both staff locally and nationwide.

The bank says payments to staff at the Department of Justice and Department of Education should be processed tomorrow morning.

It is still working to resolve the problem.

AIB says it has been advised that there is an issue with incoming credit transfers from Bank of Ireland.
