    Why are there no debit cards in Ireland other than laser which the banks are reluctant about giving out anyway. Like in the UK you can get Visa Debit Card and you can get solo and switch cards. There even available to Under 18's but here the banks are reluctant to give out the stupid laser card and I don't see why when the money is already in your account.

    I had some argument with the bank to get a Laser card, even though I already had a credit card. They're a disgrace. I was a second year postgrad student and I wanted to know why they would not give me one, but they were handing them out to first year undergrads.

    Because for some reason known only to themselves, they decided to go for a system developed by themselves rather than with an internationally compatible/recognisable one...
