Brian Stanley: Yes. You can feel your pocket getting empty, whereas with the card you do not know until you get the red letter in the door, which can be a bit unsettling. From the Department's point of view, there is a move afoot to try to protect that cash society. I see Ms Cunningham nodding in approval. May I ask about the ATM network? Three quarters of the network within the State will no longer...

Brian Stanley: As regards the other ATMs and the mainstream banks in those countries, however, the charge would be fairly similar to the charge here. The risk here is that it is likely that three quarters of the ATM network - am I accurate in saying that? - will be sold next year to independent companies that are not regulated. Will the witnesses confirm that for me?

Brian Stanley: There is an urgency to this, though, because ATMs are used a lot. The point I am making is that I think the concern here is that it is a bit like the vulture funds. When the vulture funds started buying loans and when we had the discussions about that, some vague commitments were given that there would be protection and a level of regulation. As I said earlier, for the person now paying an...

Brian Stanley: This is really the issue that will hit customers if they are charged the figures I have just given, and I have seen them. There is a certain type of ATM in some countries and that is the rate being charged for their use. They are on the streets. They are all over the place.

Brian Stanley: I will ask some questions about the insurance levy. That comes under your Department, Mr. Hogan. Are we heading to a situation where that levy is now being reduced? There were some alterations made to it in the budget.

Brian Stanley: May I ask about the banking services and the companies involved? Does the Department monitor those as to whether some of them are going to hit an iceberg? If some of them are running into risky waters or shaky financial positions in terms of the balance sheets, does the Department monitor those to try to head off the situation? Motorists, and customers generally, have been hit with these...
