Kerry TD calls for the retention of cash services

A group, including Kerry TDs, is calling on the Government to maintain the provision of cash services.

The Rural Independent Group of TDs has put forward a motion which aims to push back against a cashless society.

Members of the group have said that "by carrying cash, we avoid the chance that credit and debit card payments may not be available."

Independent TD for Kerry, Danny Healy Rae says retaining cash is very important.
