Vol. 501 No. 2
276 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Health and Children if his Department has employers' liability insurance to cover irradiation of staff issued with mobile phones in view of the findings of the effects from low intensity exposures in the Vienna EMF resolution; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5639/99]
277 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Health and Children if his Department has public liability insurance which covers irradiation of staff and the general public from any mobile phone transmitters located on State property in view of the fact that, if the operating company ceases to exist, the liability may default to the landowner and in further view of the findings of the effects from low intensity exposures of the Vienna EMF resolution; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5655/99]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 276 and 277 together.
In accordance with public financial procedures, my Department does not have employers or public liability insurance and such risks are carried by the Exchequer.
