When I first came to Ireland I opened a bank account with bank A (I won't name
the bank lest the unreasonable system of law here allows them to sue me for
this), and this bank, after a couple of months, sent me a mail in post which
said that they are closing my account in 30 days, and I must move my money

in the end, had to go to the branch to ask them in-person why are they closing
my account, the branch manager told me "I don't know", and I said I need you to
ask the reason and clarify it for me. He came back to me days later in email
saying "we cannot disclose the reason for closing your bank account". I was
already suspicious since the beginning that this all had to do with my
nationality, and by this point I was convinced that is the case. At the time I
was very new to the country and didn't know my rights and my way around the
