These rate cuts are in response to further reductions in the cost of funds on the market.
Bank of Ireland’s Fixed Rate Reductions:

The reductions will take effect from start of business on Friday 30th January 2009.
Commenting on today’s announcement Jonathan Byrne, Head of Mortgages & Loans, Consumer Banking, Bank of Ireland said:
“Interest rates have reduced considerably over the last number of months and there really is exceptional value to be had with both variable and fixed mortgage interest rates. These further reductions make our range of fixed rate offers very attractive to any customer wishing to fix either for the short or long term.”
