Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Yes. The elderly are making payments by ATM cards. Cards have been combined so that they can make electronic payments, while they can also extract cash from an ATM. They can also pay for goods and services with their ATM cards. Many people are using the An Post service, where they can use one cheque to pay a number of their bills. Credit unions also provide that service.
