An article headed "Irish Life looks at sale of subsidiaries" in last Friday's Business This Week 1 supplement said Irish Life owned 75 per cent of Irish Incontinental Bank. The figure should have been 25 per cent.

In yesterday's leading article headed "Welcome to Dublin", the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Mr Joe Doyle, was described incorrectly as a TD. He is in fact a senator.

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