Vol. 501 No. 2
335 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Education and Science 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. [5645/99]
The Department of Education and Science has not got employer's liability insurance to cover irradiation of staff members issued with mobile phones. The general situation is that the State carries its own insurance.
336 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Education and Science 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. [5661/99]
The Department of Education and Science does not own any property on which mobile phone transmitters are located. Consequently the question of public liability insurance cover does not arise.
