There was an accessible ATM machine installed in a national bank branch in Dublin last year (only available during office hours, in branch not on the street) but it is a step in the right direction. This was due in part to members of the Visually Impaired Computer Society (VICS) and their effective lobbying (for more see http://www.vicsireland.org/working_group/lobbying/report_2006.php) > Does the PIN echo in the earphone as you enter it? No, I don't think so, not in this case. Blind users may not even need this facility if the buttons are brailled correctly (for those who understand braille), or at least if the keypad is of the known 'standard' they can usually use it very well.
