Members of the public will be able to directly raise concerns with the Central Bank should they have difficulty accessing cash in their locality.
Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris is set to sign off on proposals by the financial regulator designed to underpin the so-called access to cash measures.
Local TD Brendan Smith is welcoming today's confirmation from the Tánaiste.
New rules, introduced last year, included criteria setting out the minimum percentage of the population in each region that must be within 10km of an ATM and a cash service point, as well as the minimum number of ATMs per 100,000 people.
Deputy Smith says it's a very important step forward in making sure that people who prefer to use cash are not discriminated against.
The local TD says while many pay via a digital format, anyone who wants to use cash should always be able to do so.
