The Central Bank launches a new national map listing the location of every ATM and cash service point in Ireland. The initiative is intended to improve public visibility of cash access and address concerns about whether people have sufficient access to cash in their local areas.
From today, members of the public can also use an online form to notify the regulator if they believe access to cash is inadequate in their area. Reporting through the form allows people to flag potential gaps or issues related to the availability of ATMs and cash service points.
Local reactions highlighted the impact of improved access information. In Ballygar, residents welcome the return of an ATM to the town, describing it as important for the community. The reports frame the Central Bank’s measures as part of wider efforts to monitor and respond to cash availability needs, while also supporting individuals and communities in identifying where access may be lacking.
