Mr. Niall Burgess:

The category we have referred to is a category of personal weapons kept in the hold of the flight and out of reach. I do not have specific figures that would correlate those with the personnel on the aircraft but it is categorised as personal weapons and as my colleague stated, where dangerous goods are listed which have an indiscriminate character we would invariably recommend to our colleagues in the Department of Transport that the exemption not be granted.
