Moving to Dublin -- what banks have you been satisfied with?

Hi everyone,

New to this forum. My husband and I are moving to Dublin next month for his job and we're very excited!

I've been researching banks and wanted to ask which institutions you've been happy with. Which have the lowest fees? Which ones charge up the nose for every little transaction?
