All the actually trays which hold and dispense  the cash.
We were sitting outside Thomas Bay last year when the security van came and emptied them and disabled them.

Just as well I asked Maggie, very useful to know as we rarely carry much otherthan the Euro card, thanks.
The ATMs we used, apart from the one at Tasty Corner seem to charge €3.92, I think regardles of the amount. The one at TC was €3 (different bank). The ATM in the airport charged the same €3.92. These charges are small compared to some of those made locally in the shops there!

All ATMs abroad are a rip off. Not only does the ATM supplier charge you a fee, typically €3.95 per transaction but most of UK banks also charge you.
On top if this, if you opt for the DCC (dynamic currency conversion) you will be charged yet again. Brits lose 125 million pounds a year on overseas ATM charges. Food for thought.
My advice, get an "overseas credit card" (ie Halifax Clarity) you simply cannot get a better rate.
