Two sentences were garbled in Proinsias O Drisceoil's review of The Irish Review Nos. 17/18 in Saturday's book pages. The first sentence should have read: "The Irish Review, as well as journals such as Causeway and Fortnight and events such as the John Hewitt International Summer School, have consistently interrogated Irish cultural assumptions and as a result some initial understanding has been reached of the extent to which Conor Cruise O'Brien's `unhealthy intersection' of literature and politics has affected the arthritic body politic". The second sentence should have been: "Michael Longley and John Banville contribute important essays on `Memory and Forgetting', a more mixed series of essays deal with the 150th anniversary of the Queen's Colleges The error is regretted.
