Mr. Gilvarry can correct me if I am wrong, but he is basically saying the Department expects a reduction in access to cash services because demand may go in that direction in future. If a 5 km rule was to be inserted, that would better guarantee that access to cash will remain at the current level and there should, therefore, be no additional burden on a financial institution, unless something has closed or an independent operator has pulled out, in which case there would be a burden on the financial institution to step in.
