In reporting the death of Mr Cathal Goulding in last Monday's editions, we mistakenly described his daughter Banban as a son. The error is regretted.

When errors occur it is the policy of The Irish Times to correct or clarify as soon as it is practicable. Readers may contact the Readers' Representative's office by telephoning 01-679-2022 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. Outside these times they may contact the Duty Editor.
