Bank of Ireland (UK) plc is a separately incorporated entity from the Dublin-based Bank of Ireland Group, operating under UK banking regulation and issuing its own sterling notes for circulation in Northern Ireland under the provisions that allow certain commercial banks there to issue legal currency. This note was part of the bank's transition to polymer substrate, a shift shared across most Northern Irish issuing banks around this period as De La Rue moved clients away from cotton-linen paper.
The print run of just over 12 million is modest for a £10 denomination, reflecting the relatively small population of Northern Ireland and competition in daily circulation from Bank of England notes, which are widely accepted though not technically legal tender there.
