Ireland Officially Broke ? - Bank Cant Pay Out Over "Glitch"

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

More than 100,000 customers have been affected by a delay in processing some payments.

Ulster Bank says this major technical issue has resulted in a one-day delay in processing certain payments to individual bank accounts.

Social Welfare payments, salary transfers and direct debits are disrupted and the bank is contacting all affected organisations and says concerned customers should check with their branch or the website for updates

Ulster Bank says 50 branches in the Republic and 28 branches in Northern Ireland will remain open until 7pm this evening for customers who are unable to get to their branch during working hours.  Your morgauges will still be debited , leaving some people in debt and paying interest whilst losing there personal credit ratings.  Ulster bank released this statement  :                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         “Ulster Bank can confirm that we continue to experience a major technical issue which is resulting in a delay in processing certain payments and we apologise unreservedly for this.

We have been working throughout the day to minimise the impact for our customers and customers of other banks. We continue to work to resolve this issue and to minimise the impact. We will ensure that those who are affected do not suffer any financial loss.

We will be keeping approximately 80 Ulster Bank branches open tomorrow, Friday 22 June, until 7pm in major towns and cities to assist customers who are unable to get to their branch during working hours and our 60 Saturday opening branches will open as usual this weekend. ATM and Anytime Internet and Mobile Banking services are available but are reflecting a delay in customers’ balances.” - http://www.ulsterbank.ie/roi/personal/generic/service-update.ashx………………… IT will be next week before Ulster Bank manages to fix its collapsed computer systems, resulting in further chaos for tens of thousands of customers.

 
The unprecedented information technology breakdown — which has resulted in payments to thousands of people failing — has now entered its third day.
 
Ulster Bank has now admitted that the problem, which is the biggest banking IT failure the country has ever seen, won’t be fixed before the weekend.
 
Ambulance drivers, nurses and home helps were among 40,000 staff in the Health Services Executive (HSE) who were left without wages yesterday because the health body uses Ulster Bank to distribute salaries. Workers in private-sector firms were also affected.
 
Furious care workers jammed the phone lines in the HSE wages department after they were left facing the weekend without funds.
 
Anyone who gets paid weekly or fortnightly from the HSE was due to get their money yesterday but this did not happen.
 
And thousands more people due to be paid today also face being left without funds.
 
The Department of Social Protection has also confirmed that 29,100 payments it makes every week have been impacted by the IT crash.
 
Ulster Bank has apologised for the technical breakdown and promised to rectify it as soon as possible. It denied its systems had been hacked.
 
The fault means that any credits or debits to customer accounts have not been recorded since Tuesday night.
 
The bank said 100,000 people had been affected by the collapse, but banking experts said far more were left unable to use their bank accounts. Una Dillon of the Irish Payments Services Organisation, which arranges payments between banks, said it could be next week before the problems are rectified.
 
The Irish Banking Federation insisted other banks would accommodate customers who end up overdrawn because their employers use Ulster Bank to pay them.

      Thats what’s good about the internet. A banking system can go insolvent, have a complete shutdown, no access to money for 500m people and blame it on a chenese virus………Great cover story to buy time.

      It was a computer glitch that affected National Westminster Bank, Ulster Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland – all of these are under the same company umbrella – so nothing sinister….. yet!

      I believe they meant there was a “Financial” glitch… In other words, “Your money NOW belongs to us”.

      What is expected of an American Christian Bunch that has taken the Bible and defecated on for Centuries, while committing genocide and blunder, poisoning the very earth and then hip-hopping though the Scriptures like a trivial convenience store, taking every unholy indulgence while scapegoating its victims of a society driven to break holy laws, precepts and standards, driving on a tax-exempt gravy-train with meddlesome minds plotting the very fall of a Nation under God and harboring many abomination with the equally many rackets represented as faith. Poor Moses must be fuming under the Throne of God with indignation over the lot professing to have law, while breaking every single commandment in the very Churches designed to allow for the cover to do so.
      The Gentle Christ of old put it most eloquently in Matthew 23 and all I can add: INDEED YOU AMERICAN CHRISTIANS and many Christians worldwide have made an FIVE STAR AFFAIR out of that chapter, so fear ye NOT the judgment do and recompense for devouring widows houses, stealing the Orphaned inheritance, laying in bed with every atrocity of Adolf Hitler, breeding with the spoils, to keep the filthiest among ye appearing pure, while calling the money Wealth your blessings.
      On Sundays ye teach in Church how Satan took the Christ to the desert and showed him the kingdoms of the world in offer for an alliance, for the gentle one send by God Most High and Holy, and jet ye all bow to money wealth as a sign from your chosen Deity and so like in the Books of Isiah ceaselessly defile the and blaspheme the true name of God Eternal.
      Just look upon Romans Book 1:18-32 and their ye find the likes which the world is now stumbling under, thicker than thieves, oh American Christian hypocrites who have no compassion and compunction to graduate sodomites and pedophiles to priests and suppress you rape and molestation victims as common Magdalene’s, playing God almighty in the lives ye intrude like any common gang of thugs, while among your hoards of looters of the living, ye read the biblical Book with not a single a shred of conscience and heart, for selling those divine Birthrights makes this Bunch of self-righteous hypocrites daring to call themselves American Christians and playing God almighty in the lives of those whom ye devour.
      Reap as ye have sown o blasted brood of Vipers and leave the final Judgment to God Most Holy, Eternal Judge Most High and Mighty.
      And please stop judging the highest Leaders of this Nation with minds so small that surely on that day, that day when those who boasted so loudly with the Name of the gentle Son of Mary, Jesus of Nazareth on their lips, making the meaning of this name OBSOLETE, on that day, will the American lot be esteemed indeed most lightly and the one charged to return will tell as it is written in the very Book ye made an unholy greedy poison racket off: I know ye NOT!
      Then ye may remember the simple words of God Most High haven inscribed and writing His Eternal Law onto and deep into the hearts of all who seek Him and that God need not to relay on a loathsome bunch of American Christians, judging who may or may not be counted among the chosen. Christians who break the laws of man and God and like Brutus’s conspire to sit in the offices of your leaders, even if just in filthy verbal endeavors, for in Romans Book 2: 14- 16 ye will find every Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist, Native surviving American Indian, former African slaves and many many more races and languages represent with Gods TRUE LAW written and engraved upon their hearts and demonstrated through their deeds standing as a law onto them selves, and even those whose cradle the American Christians robbed and deviled , whom ye burdened and judged and prosecuted and made social outcasts will be NOT forgotten on THAT DAY oh accursed American Christians who make Hitler and every gruesome abuser of divine decrees ever walking this earth, blanch with envy.
      Just as the Jesus of old thought and reminded ye to pray to the heavenly One, and spake of the time will be when they will say, nay here come here we have the Christ, nay here we have him, nay here come here we have him and so ye are like Johny Appleseed’s from hell practicing the Five Star affair of Matthew 23, finish the work ye began just as it is written, and may God affect the Guns to be taken from the lot of ye, to grant reprieve to those whom ye rape, murder, socially lynch and despoil to exalt your selves the better humans over, while as in Matthew book 5 : 17-19 ye despoil and abolish every law and teachings of these verses and then exalt as spiritual slave traders in hoards and gangs calling all who not submit to this spiritual perversion an anti, being the mightiest of all Antichrists practicing thus. Ameen
