In the edition of June 2nd we reported that Joseph Burke of Barbane, Broadford, Co Clare, had been charged on two counts of interfering with or altering an animal’s ear tag along with other charges.
This was inaccurate. The actual charges in question relate to an alleged possession or control of animals “whose eartag or eartags had been interfered with in any way”. We regret the error and wish to correct the record.
An article in last Wednesday’s edition, concerning a settlement award over a claim for negligence, stated that the action had been taken against the Southern Health Board, Erinville Hospital, Prof David Jenkins and Dr John McKiernan. Prof Jenkins and Dr McKiernan were not party to the settlement.
An article in the edition of June 19th, concerning the apparent demise of English football hooligans, mistakenly referred to the Hillsborough tragedy as an example of where hooliganism occurred.
