Local TD, Deputy Brendan Smith has said new draft legislation will ensure access to cash in the State is rightly protected. Deputy Smith's party colleague, Minister for Finance Jack Chambers published the Finance Bill 2024 in recent weeks. The Bill aims to ensure that sufficient and effective access to cash is available in the State, and that any further evolution of the cash infrastructure will be managed in a fair, orderly, transparent and equitable manner for all stakeholders.
Deputy Smith said cash plays a hugely important role in our economy. It is the preferred method of paying for many people and they deserve to have access to cash and to use cash whenever they see fit. The Cavan-Monaghan TD added that this new Bill aims to put in place a framework to ensure continued sufficient and effective access to cash in the State.
