Bank of Ireland has issued an apology following an IT glitch that allowed customers to withdraw funds they did not have in their accounts. Some customers reportedly received €1,000 without explanation, which resulted in queues forming at cash points. Customers rushed to ATMs to withdraw money as the news of unallocated money in accounts spread like wildfire. The police were deployed in several parts of Ireland to disperse the crowd.
