Northern Ireland First Trust Bank Limited £20 and £50 both dated 1.6.2009. These are just the reprints from the previous issues with new signature. These are the only two notes for this particular year that I am aware of and these notes bear the signature of Terry McDaid, Managing Director, First Trust Bank. Terry McDaid left the bank towards the end of 2011, after 36 years working in the banking industry. The designs of these notes have changed little since it was first introduced in 1994 under the current bank's name. Prior to that these notes were issued under the name of the Allied Irish Bank Limited. In addition to the banknotes issued by the four major banks in Northern Ireland, banknotes issued by the Bank of England are also widely circulating in Northern Ireland too.
