Special precautions are taken to safeguard mails in transit but it would not be in the public interest to disclose them.
May I ask the Minister whether the staff of contractors are in any way covered by insurance against personal injury which they might suffer in the event of such attack taking place?
I have not got that information but I shall find out for the Deputy and communicate with him at a later stage.
