just wondering what type of account i should be after i want one where i can withdraw my cash through an atm and where i can keep all my cash basicly.

I was also wondering what i need to bring down to the bank to start up the account and if there were any fees?

think your best bet is permanent tsb, they are offering free banking now, all others will charge bank charges, which average out bout €30 a year,

think you'll need a form of id like a passport or driving licence

permanent TSB

bring ID (passport/Driving License) proof of address (Post Office statement) which has to be dated in the last 3 months. you would be looking to open a current account, and if you are a student, you will not be charged any fees, but you have to tell them you are a student, and they may want to see a college ID to prove you are

a gaurdians proof of address is enough if you don't have one, do your parent or family have a bank account with anyone, if so the bank will be only to glad to add another member of ypur family to their balance sheet
