Michael Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

It is hugely important that the Bill be brought in as a matter of urgency because, as the Minister stated, it is important that cash is available. It remains a critical part of our economy in so many ways. There were issues with cash being withdrawn from various banks and so forth in rural and urban communities. That has thankfully stopped, but it is important there is a sound basis in legislation for it. The Minister stated he hopes to get Government approval for the Bill shortly and to bring it before the Oireachtas in the autumn. Will he outline the timeframe? It is crucially important there is a solid legislative foundation for cash within society.
