A glitch within the Bank of Ireland’s IT BIRG.I online app allowed customers with no funds in their account to withdraw cash. 

The glitch allowed customers with no money to transfer the equivalent of up to $1,090.20 into a Revolut digital account that could be withdrawn via an ATM. 

News of the glitch spread like wildfire, with people around the Republic of Ireland lining up to ATMs under the presumption they would have access to free money, Independent.ie reports. 

FITCH WARNS MULTIPLE US BANKS FACE CREDIT DOWNGRADE: REPORT

The bank warned customers that the money would be taken from their accounts if they withdraw money over normal limits and would be treated as an overdraft. 

“We are working on a technical issue that is impacting a number of our services including our mobile app and 365Online,” the bank said online. “We are working to fix this as quickly as possible and apologize to customers for any inconvenience it caused.” 

The long lines at some ATMs prompted police to intervene to control the crowds. 

Per the BBC, Gardaí, Ireland’s national police force, said it was aware of an “unusual volume of activity” at some ATMs and “of issues relating to certain financial institutions.”

“An Garda Síochána will remind people of their personal responsibility in carrying out their personal banking,” the force said.

Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Coffees and Iced Teas will be released in 12 states in late August, the company announced in a press release this week.

The announcement of spiked iced coffees and iced teas comes a year after Dunkin’ partnered with Harpoon Brewery to release three coffee-inspired beers. 

“We knew we had the opportunity to create something special when we saw the positive response to our previous seasonal collaborations for Dunkin’-inspired beers,” said Brian Gilbert, vice president of retail business development at Dunkin’ in the press release.

Gilbert cited a “growing appetite for adult beverages” for why the company chose to “put a twist” on its popular products. 

“Dunkin’ Spiked is perfect for day or night enjoyment and comes in eight distinct flavors, available in grocery and package stores later this month,” said Gilbert. 

“This new line of ready-to-drink adult beverages elevates Dunkin’s offerings, and we know our 21+ fans will love every sip,” he said.

The Dunkin’ Spiked Iced Coffee will have an alcohol by volume of 6%, and come in four flavors: original, caramel, mocha and vanilla. 

The products will have less caffeine than a cup of typical coffee.
