“TDs here have already called for tougher controls of the currency. Vincent O’Donoghue of the Irish Bitcoin Association today told RTÉ News that the currency should be recognised, so that it would be safer to use. ‘We’re calling on the Central Bank to have a close look at it. It’s something for the future.
