An Post is prepared to enter into mediation talks in the case of a postmistress who has sued after she was the victim of a tiger kidnapping, tied up and told she would be shot, the High Court has heard.

Susan Lawlor from Malahide who was the postmistress at Bayside Post Office, Dublin, was along with her daughter and an Italian student abducted from her home at gunpoint and driven around by her captors until the €80,000 contents of the post office safe were stolen in September 2014.
