Bank Security

I haven't written in a long time about the banks here, though the topic dominated many of my earlier posts. Well, today I was reminded that one doesn't just walk easily into a bank. There are three doors. You press a button to enter the first door into a small enclosed area. You must wait for the door to shut behind you, followed by 3 seconds until the white light comes on in the next button in front of you. You press it and then either a red "wait" button is lit, or a greed "enter" button is lit. Then you enter into the next identical enclosed area and repeat this process in order to enter the bank.
Yes, the Irish are serious about their bank security! So much for the friendly welcoming patterns of the US banks, where coffee and treats are waiting for the customer...
