Ulster Bank to cut up to 1,800 jobs

Royal Bank of Scotland's troubled Ulster Bank arm announced up to another 1,800 job cuts and around 40 branch closures under plans to return it to profit within the next three years.

Ulster will slash its branch network from 214 to between 175 and 185 by the end of 2014, mainly impacting rural branches as it looks to focus on towns and cities.
