Ease and cost of getting a safety deposit box ?

I d like to keep some cash on hand over the Christmas to pay bills in case god forbid something happens to the Irish Banks but I dont want to keep it at home. Does anyone know about getting a safety deposit box with one of the banks and how much it would cost ? Are they still available or is this something only Tony Soprano and Swiss Banks in the movies seem to have. Also do the non Irish banks have them ?

BoI stopped taking new items for safe keeping a few years back. Anybody who already had items in the safe was allowed to keep them there.
Not sure about the other banks.

BoI in College Green in Dublin are the only providers of safe deposit boxes in the country and do not allow for new customers.
