Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

I concur with what Deputy Hogan has said. I, too, have had representations on the very same points. It certainly raises issues about the travel industry and the implications therefor. In the submission to me the point is made that there is the risk of a knock-on effect for consumers. Those who pay by alternative methods other than direct debit may become victims in that regard. I would ask the Minister of State to comment on what Deputy Hogan has said.
