Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

I am not familiar with that precise contract, if we have such a contract because a lot of forms and leaflets would be given out either through the Citizens Information Centres or through our local office network. We would send a lot of information through the postal services and we have altered the way we do that in order to get best value in terms of using the most efficient services, including metered post and so forth. Where we have files or large volumes of correspondence moving between offices, we have moved to a different form of delivery so that we get better value and a more secure service.
