Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

I agree that people who do not have bank accounts need to be looked after and a way needs to be found to ensure that they get their payments and that they are not, as the Deputy said, corralled into banks in which they do not have accounts. I will examine what the Deputy has raised. It is not unreasonable that An Post should be involved in the end product. I will have the issue examine and will return directly to the Deputy on it.
