I contacted the Accounts Advice Centre mainly because they were first on the I.T.I. website but also because I really liked the website. They were as good as their word and I did stop worrying once they had sorted out my arrears. I knew after my first consultation that they would sort out my tax affairs and my trust was not misplaced. Again, a very professional firm who do exactly what they say they will.

This branch on the corner of St Stephen's Green at the top of Baggot Street is the last one from this direction until you reach their mega-bank on College Green. This branch is very busy and given it's central locale this is no surprise. They do have a lot of very proficient and often friendly staff so waiting times are never too painful. This is a handy spot to pick up some moolah for a shopping expedition on Grafton Street.

The staff are very customer focused and are very helpful. They also provide good advice and when you want to order a card or anything you just use the phone in the bank and it'll get done. The queues aren't too long either, depending on what time you go it can get busy at times but overall the service is pretty fast and great! The manager is very friendly as well, always around the bank asking if everyone is okay, or if they need any help. Overall, excellent!

With three tellers, it can get quite busy before its lunch break at 1pm. Unusually for a bank, some of the workers have their office space beside the queuing customers, so close that you could go up and see what they are looking up on the web. However, this is strongly discouraged and you will be strong armed to the exit.

A medium-sized branch which I merely use for currency exchange cause they had better rates, typically, than the AIB closer to me.

They state that they don't charge any fees, which technically is true. But you know, a business needs to make money. So, there will always be a high and low average for conversion rates for the day. You'll be offered the rate that leaves the largest margin for them to be able to take a cut out of. Which for what I need, totally fair. Even if you're just walking in, book the conversion online on your phone first because that's how you'll avoid any additional fees.

I needed to convert US dollars into euros and UK sterling pounds upon my arrival in Ireland. After…read morechecking into the Morgan around the corner, I made my way over to this exchange and converted the money I needed for my time in Dublin before moving on to Northern Ireland. The man behind the counter was courteous and professional, carefully counting the bills to ensure I had the correct amount. When I returned to Dublin towards the end of our trip, I finally converted the sterling I had been carrying since Derry to euro, since apparently, Galway had no places that exchanged period. I didn't realize that -- and that's the case with any exchange place. The only thing you can't do is convert coins. So unless you want to save them from reminiscing about your time in the country, make sure to spend the coinage. But I have had good experiences the two times I used the exchange, so no complaints from my end.
