Consumers' Association warning about over reliance on card payments
A customer rights group says the option to use cash should be guaranteed.
The Consumers Association of Ireland is warning about the continued trend of paying with plastic.
Credit and debit card payments have risen by 17% in the year up to October, while ATM withdrawals are down nearly a third.
Consumers' Association of Ireland Senior Policy Adviser Dermott Jewell, says cash is still hugely popular, especially for the elderly, children, and workers who earn tips.
But he thinks many businesses would rather do without their money if it is not on plastic.
