East cost region ATMs may run out of cash
Wednesday, 4 August 2004
The Irish Payment Services Organisation says that 80 bank branch ATMs in the east coast region could run out of cash within 24 hours if the dispute at Brinks Allied continues.
IPSO, the umbrella body for payment services for financial institutions in Ireland, is advising consumers to use their laser cards, and laser's cash-back option.
Workers at Brinks voted by two to one against proposals to end their action, despite a recommendation from their union, SIPTU. The Union says it wants an early hearing at the Labour Court to resolve the dispute.
The dispute is over the introduction of new security measures, which workers say will leave them more vulnerable in the event of a robbery. No details of the proposal were released due to security concerns.
