Is there an onus on Irish employers to provide printed payslips?

Employers are legally obliged to provide a written statement of wages and deductions, it is not specified that it must be printed
 
. . and if not, do employees have a legal entitlement to a printed payslip?
I know companies where they do recieve electronic payslips (encrypted and password protected PDFs).

It's only on a voluntary basis, they do provide the choice, but that's not an indication of whether they must by law.
 
Thanks, can anyone point me to a link detailing what's expected of employers in this regard? (I should have said 'paper based' rather than 'printed' earlier).
 
I think you'll find that [broken link removed]is also relevant, with regard to what "in writing" means in the Payment of Wages Act.
