General Scheme of the Access to Cash Bill 2024: Discussion

Mr. Gavin Purtill:

To come back to the Deputy's original question, we are not seeking to negate the legislation. We are looking to drill into it and understand the issues. To come back to the points around the drop in transactions, the Deputy quoted the 2015 figure of €151.9 million. However, the 2022 figure is €87.5 million, so it is a 58% drop, which is very significant. We are seeking to ensure the legislation is agile enough to move with the changes in demand for cash.
