KBC Bank says itÂ’s here to stay after confirming its commitment to Ireland.
On Wednesday, the bank shut down speculation it was pulling out of the market, alleviating the fears of over 1000 staff.
Among the reasons to affirm Ireland as a core market are the young population, growing economy and positive economic outlook.
