That is the problem. We have the vast majority and then we have whole towns that used to have cash points but no longer do. They may have had several cash points but they might have none now. I refer to the impact that situation has where an attempt is being made to develop areas, such as along the Wild Atlantic Way. There is a need to have access to cash along those routes as well. I am seeking reassurance that it will not be a case of giving overall population figures or us being in a situation where only the profitable cash points will remain. It is not just about the economics of this issue but also the social aspect, and the whole social inclusion aspect.
