Chief Minister Allan Bell says he's disappointed by the announcement an Irish bank is leaving the Isle of Man.
Allied Irish Bank's decision to pull out of the Island is a blow for both the 115 workers here and for the Island's finance sector.
In a statement, AIB said it's to close down its base here at the end of next year as part of a strategic review which would see a smaller operation focused on its home market in Ireland.
Mr Bell criticised the timing of the announcement.
