Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

I will not but I could not believe how much was going in compared to the population. That postmaster said there is a real risk for them. They are in a rural area and there is no full-time Garda station, yet this massive amount of money is being deposited there. If the payments could be ordered twice a week it would make it somewhat safer for small post offices.

It is not the Minister's fault and it is up to individuals to opt for the method of payment. It would be a help, however, if more people changed their options.
