For obvious security reasons, I am not in a position to comment on the particular report referred to by the Deputy. However, I can confirm that certain staff were recently rendered appropriate assistance in relation to security matters. The Deputy will understand that I am not willing to elaborate at this time on the specifics of any threats that may have been made.
