In the chronology for 1970-1979 in Tuesday's editions, the itinerary of Pope John Paul II's Irish visit in 1979 omitted Limerick.
Also, the date of the car bomb explosions in Dublin and Monaghan was May 17th, 1974, not May 27th as stated. And 33 people were killed, not 31.
In a report headed "Tobacco firms `target young with added flavours' " in yesterday's editions, the Department of Health was said to have been satisfied with the information supplied by some major cigarette manufacturers. The sentence should have read: "Although the Department of Health insisted this was not a satisfactory response, the firms argued that the disclosure of such details [constituents of each branded product] was commercially sensitive." The error occurred in the editing process.
Where errors occur it is the policy of The Irish Times to correct or clarify as soon as practicable.
