Penny Bank re-opens
05 January 2012
It was the original of the species, in terms of communitybased penny bank savings schemes, certainly in the town of Enniscorthy. And the town’s St. Patrick’s Penny Bank will enter its 57th year of operations when it re-opens for business for the 2012 season on this Friday January 6 in the IFA centre (7.30 9 p.m.). St. Pat’s Penny Bank has been in existence since the mid-1950s, set up at a time of great austerity and proving a godsend to ‘ordinary’ people. The organisers say a big thanks to all who used the facility in the past and previous years, and look forward to many new customers when its new savings season resumes this week.
