Mr. Oliver Gilvarry:

When we were looking at this, one of the things that immediately came up when we got the population figures is that in urban areas - Dublin in particular - ten ATMs spread throughout Dublin would provide 100% of the population with an ATM within 10 km. That is why we brought in the capacity relating to the number of ATMs per 100,000 of population, so that there are enough machines to actually function and to provide the service necessary to people. We will look at the issue of the unrestricted ones and whether there may need to be something separate on that. We will discuss it. It is a question of scale. The machines that are currently there are without any subvention from anybody.

I suspect what is there now is sufficient to meet the needs of the vast majority of the population throughout the country.
