Ms Moyagh Murdock:

It is our intention to bring everyone online in order that everyone can go online if they wish. We want to introduce the postal service by the end of the year so that if, as the Senator said, people are not that comfortable with computers or do not have the access, they can make a postal application as long as they have a public services card. Most of the elderly, with their pension entitlements, already have a public services card so it will be straightforward for them to apply online.
