- Finance (Provision of Access to Cash Infrastructure) Bill 2024: Second Stage (26 Sep 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: While I have the Minister of State here, it would be wrong not to raise a particular issue. In fairness, it is an incredibly important one. We have all heard about the major concerns. Even in recent weeks, people have raised those concerns with us. One lady contacted me about her dad. There was some element of confusion at a senior football match in the Dundalk area. As he was not au...

- Finance (Provision of Access to Cash Infrastructure) Bill 2024: Second Stage (26 Sep 2024)
Martin Kenny: We will share the time as we go along. I appreciate that. I thank the Minister for his opening statement. Access to cash and the right of people to use cash is vital. That is the nub of this. People have a right to use cash as well as to access it. Since Covid and even before that, people have spoken of restrictions on the use of cash. People used cards more and more during that...

Richard Boyd Barrett: This morning Cara Darmody committed to protest every week from now on unless the Government fully and immediately takes action to vindicate the rights of children with additional needs. It needs to give her those commitments and undertake those actions. I promised the parents of a child named Frankie that I would mention him. He is four-and-a-half years old. He has autism. He has global...
