Michael O’Flynn
A report in the edition of July 24th, quoting Fine Gael TD Lucinda Creighton concerning party and personal fundraisers, referred to Michael O'Flynn of the O'Flynn Group in differentiating between developers who were or were not in Nama. The Irish Timesis satisfied that the article may have wrongly implied that Mr O'Flynn was other than upstanding in the conduct of his business, and regrets and apologises for such implication.
Where errors occur, it is the policy of The Irish Timesto correct or clarify as soon as practicable.
