I am sure the Minister will agree with me that quantities —I do not know in what proportion— of blue pornographic literature are coming into this country through the mail. I hope the Minister and his colleague the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs will work out some method of combating this new flood of the bluest of pornographic material.

I have not got complaints about pornographic material, as such, coming in any volume through the mail. If the Deputy has any instances I would be glad to hear of them. I think the Post Office Act —I can check this with my colleague —has power to intercept any such material. If there is any serious problem we will certainly look at it as a matter of urgency to ensure that it does not continue.

I thank the Minister for the courtesy of his reply. Recently, I was in a public place and I am ashamed to say a large number of young people were having their kicks, as it were, by looking at the bluest of pornographic material one could imagine. I gathered from them that it came through the post from England.

If the Deputy will give me particulars I will be glad to look at the matter.
