Will the Minister of State ensure those who have been written to will be given the facts? People in Dublin may not realise that many of the banks in rural Ireland will only issue cash on certain days of the week. Many will not take in coin any day of the week. That the Department should write to a pensioner stating he or she can get a better service in the local bank is not true. They cannot get a better service in the local bank. I welcome the fact the Minister of State is withdrawing the letters. That is a positive development.
