Protection of Cash as Legal Tender: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-08
============================================================

Michael Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

What is the basis for this statement? The record of the Dáil is very important and the Minister of State has sent out a message that if any person providing a service puts up a sign stating, "We do not accept cash", it is acceptable. In effect, what is being said is that it is okay not to take what is legal tender on the island of Ireland. I am not saying the Minister of State is wrong, but I am asking her to clarify, on the record, if what she said is correct.
