An editing error placed Newport in Co Limerick instead of Co Tipperary in Tuesday's report headed "Baby suffered severe side-effects from `natural' cream".

A report on Tuesday headed "Luas archaeological digs uncover human skeleton and animal horn" described the horn as being from a 14th-century extinct species. Mr Franc Myles, the site director, states that it has not yet been dated or traced to any species. And the cesspit described as possibly dating from the sixth century is, in fact, medieval.

Where errors occur, it is the policy of The Irish Times to correct or clarify as soon as practicable.
