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
 | 
			
		||||
before then. No explanation was provided, when I called them, emailed them, and
 | 
			
		||||
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
 | 
			
		||||
system, I _might_ have been able to sue them for discrimination, but I wouldn't
 | 
			
		||||
be surprised if that wouldn't work either.
