The From the Doorstep column by Maev-Ann Wren on Tuesday said Eamon de Valera had been Taoiseach for a cumulative 17 years. This should have been 21 years (1932-48; 1951-54; 1957-59).

In a letter from Mr Michael McGuire headed "Limerick Memories" on June 2nd, the date of the assassination of President Kennedy appeared as November 23rd, 1963, instead of November 22nd. The error occurred in the production process.
