On the issue of receipts, I have said before that when one goes to an ATM and inserts one's card to withdraw money, one has the option of getting a receipt. I have always opted for a receipt because I do not trust the machine to do what I command it to do through using my card. Moreover, nobody wants a repeat of the inhumane events in the constituencies of Wicklow, Cork South-Central or Limerick West. Equally, what happened in Dublin North was just as inhumane because of the manner in which bad news was delivered to one of the Deputies who lost her seat. This was completely unfair. That is the other side of the argument.
