Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

I will raise that matter with the Minister for housing. The information I have does cover off where we are with our State agencies but does not deal with the local authorities at the level the Deputy has just referred to, and, in particular, the specific case to which he referred. I accept that for our more elderly citizens who need to use local authorities and other services, not being able to use cash broadly can be, for them, more than an issue of convenience. As I said, I will follow up on this with the Minister for housing and will revert to the Deputy.
