@RevenueIE Hi, I have been in contact with Ulster Bank. They have advised that they cannot issue refunds on my Credit Card Stamp Duty charge. Revenue advised me to contact the Financial Institution. So, who is going to deal with query? Please advise. Thank you.

@BillyKelleherEU Here’s a topical issue, if Unity ever occurs, can we guarantee that financial institutions currently operating in Northern Ireland will remain or is there a risk that they will leave (like Ulster Bank and KBC) the Republic of Ireland due to over-regulation by the CBI?

@Independent_ie They should have tried to hold onto the 2 banks departing.
Ulster Bank here over a hundred years decides to leave.
The problem is a bank finds it neigh impossible to repossess a house due to the debt forgiveness laws brought in.

@samwheagle @PaddyMcKeown1 Ulster Bank was the sponsor of Down in 1994. But there was conflict with the GAA as Bank of Ireland was the sponsor the football championship. They wouldn't allow them put Ulster Bank on the front of their jersey. It was sorted for the 1995 championship.
