Bank of Ireland cuts rate on 12 and 18-month term deposits by 0.25%
But the bank said there are no changes to any of its other savings accounts, including its SuperSaver product, which continues to offer a 3% AER for 12 months.
The bank said that customers who are in the process of opening new 12 or 18-month fixed-term deposit accounts can still avail of the current rates if they open their account by the close of business on June 4.
Existing fixed-term deposit account customers will continue to earn interest at their original rate until the end of their term, it added.
Bank of Ireland noted that the ECB has lowered interest rates by a cumulative 1.75% over the last few months, while it has reduced its 12 and 18-month term deposit rates by a total of 0.75% - including the changes announced today.

Permission refused for residential accommodation in prominent Tipperary building
Will Fluery had applied to Tipperary County Council for retention permission to indefinitely change the of use of part of stable building to a residential unit and for permission to change the use of the remaining stable building to an additional residential unit, at the former Bank of Ireland building on The Square in Cahir. Retention planning permission is sought when a person carries out works without getting planning permission, but applies to the local authority to be allowed to retain the works that have been carried out. The former stable buildings sit to the rear of the main former bank building. Tipperary County Council has refused to grant permission for the development, citing concerns around the 'lack of consideration' that the proposed works would have on the main bank building, which is a protected structure. 'Based on information presented and having regard to the lack of consideration given to the potential impacts of the works, both proposed and to be retained, on the character and setting of a protected structure, the planning authority considers that the proposal will have an unacceptable impact on the character and integrity of a protected structure,' according to planning documents. The proposed plans would also contravene the Tipperary County Development Plan, the local authority stated. "The proposed development would also set an undesirable precedent for other similar proposals to protected structures,' planners added.
