Vol. 178 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Distribution of Objectionable Literature.

95.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs what steps he is empowered to take to stop the distribution of objectionable literature through the post.

The Post Office Act, 1908, and regulations made thereunder give power to stop any packet which, while in course of transmission by post, is observed to contain indecent or obscene matter. A postal packet received from outside the State which is suspected to contain matter of this type may be stopped and forwarded to the Customs Authorities.
