BUT: it is much easier when you manage your bank account online + there is no fee for the transaction. I transfer regulary money to my foreign account. I'm with the Bank of Ireland but I'm pretty sure it works with any Irish bank. Once you have set up the foreign account as payee -usually you request it online and they will send you a confirmation letter within a week- you can transfer money in the same way you used to do it while filling the form in you branch. it takes usually 3 days to arrive on the other side. nice blog - good luck!

My mom lives in Milltown, County Kerry. I was fortunate enough to spend a week there this past February. Wow is it beautiful. I miss the Kerry Mountains. If I could find work over there I'd move out of this country in a heartbeat! Greetings from America! My mom lives in Milltown, County Kerry.

Some banks offer that service but these are in the minority. Same scenario - drive to your branch, stand in line, ask for a form (at least I got more than one), fill it in, queue up again, hand it in, get your copy (no one thinks about the trees). If I'm quick, it takes me 30 minutes all together - if not, an hour :( I made the same experience in New Zealand. Some banks offer that service but these are in the minority.

I often go back there in my mind. Great when I was there to enjoy the quiet with not a sole nearby. Did you see the shell of an old two story home on the way up? My uncle used to ride his bike up there as a young lad. The locals refer to the building as cooper's lodge, the former home of a wealthy man. Lough Easkey, such a beautiful place.
