APOLOGY
In our edition on Thursday January 20th, 2011 we published remarks concerning John Walker, William Power and Patrick Hill of the "Birmingham Six" who suffered a notorious miscarriage of justice at the hands of the British judicial system. Insofar as those remarks were capable of a defamatory interpretation we withdraw them in their entirety and we apologise to Mr Walker, Mr Power and Mr Hill and any others affected by such remarks. We acknowledge, consistent with The Irish Timesattitude over the years, that the "Birmingham Six" were totally innocent at all times of the charges brought against them.
