In some later editions yesterday the article headed "Expert calls for freeze on rezonings", which reported on a paper delivered by Prof Michael Bannon of UCD to a planning conference at Trinity College at the weekend, concluded with the paragraph "Given the likelihood that any megascale retail magnet at Quarryvale would have a damaging impact on shopping in the city centre, from which Dublin Corporation still draws much of its rates revenue, the sale of the 50-acre site to Mr Gilmartin seemed to be a case of the corporation shooting itself in the foot".
These words were, in fact, inadvertently duplicated from another article by Frank McDonald on the same page headed " `Man of the west' saw opportunity for huge retail moneyspinner". The paragraph was not part of Prof Bannon's paper. At no time did he refer either to Mr Gilmartin or to "the corporation shooting itself in the foot".
In last Tuesday's Rite and Reason column it was stated that all the Irish churches except the Roman Catholic Church were members of the World Council of Churches. In fact, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland terminated its membership in 1980.
