General Scheme of the Access to Cash Bill 2024: Discussion
Mr. John Palmer:
Deputy Doherty is correct. If one of the banks did want to introduce an access charge for either domestic or indeed international, it is required to make a notification under the Consumer Credit Act to the Central Bank, but IADs are not required. They are not covered by that legislation. We are not talking about bank charges here. We are talking about an access fee, a flat fee.
