Clarifications

Sir, – Isn't it comforting for the citizens of Ireland to know that our bankers, bishops, builders, TDs, gardaí, et al, make "very clear" (transparent, unequivocal and unambiguous) statements. Then they return to modify their statements. And then return yet again, to make it absolutely clear, lest there be any doubt, with a further clarification that ensures that this will never happen again – and again and again. – Yours, etc,
