General Scheme of the Access to Cash Bill 2024: Discussion

The framework will guarantee rural areas have access to ATMs in the same way as the areas with a higher population. There will be no differentiation between people having access. Mr. Gilvarry rightly points to issues such as security and financial independence. In rural areas there is obviously a bigger population of elderly people as well, and the transport issues and everything else that goes along with that. Can the witnesses assure me that the framework has within it protections to provide for that?
