    You can transfer between Irish banks without a problem (assuming you mean the BOI account is an Irish one, that she can take out money from when in the UK) - telephone or online banking can do that without issue.

    If she has a UK account, you can transfer to her by getting her BIC and IBAN (it'll be printed on her statements) and contact your bank. They can do a transfer to it that will only take a few days and shouldn't cost to much. Telephone banking may be able to do it for you..if not, your branch certainly can

    The price charged bty Permanent TSB for this cross border/international transfer, has to be the same as what Permanent TSB would charge if you asked them to transfer money to another Irish bank.
    That was 1 benefit to joining the EU!
