I know it is a policy matter but I wish to ask about going cashless. A large section of the public is absolutely terrified of that. A lot of people are not terrified about it but do not want it because they feel that, if they are buying a cup of coffee, they do not really need the bank manager with them. They feel they can deal with the shop assistant and keep the transaction between the two of them. You pay for the product and the shop owner pays the VAT and other tax to the Revenue Commissioners, and the world keeps moving. Does Mr. Hogan understand the concerns around that?
