Sir, - Your political reporter Kevin Rafter wrote (The Irish Times, February 5th) about the pre-paid envelope allowances available to Oireachtas members. He was misinformed when he stated that "An Post currently charges 32p for a single pre-paid envelope...and An Post would be likely to offer a bulk discount given the number involved."
The cost of a single pre-paid envelope for members of the public and for members of the Dail and Seanad is 30p and has been so since April 1998. A discount does not apply. - Yours, etc.,
John Foley, Public Relations Manager, An Post, General Post Office, Dublin 1.
