Waterlow & Sons had a long relationship with the Bank of Ireland stretching back decades by the time this note was produced, but the partnership was winding down — the firm had been absorbed into De La Rue in 1961, and notes printed under the Waterlow imprint in the mid-1960s represent the tail end of that identity being used on contracts already in place.
By 1967, the Republic of Ireland was less than two years from decimalization planning becoming a serious legislative matter. The pound series would be replaced entirely when the Currency Act 1969 paved the way for the new decimal coinage, making this among the final issues of the pre-decimal £1 from the Bank of Ireland.
