A report by Kitty Holland in the editions of January 4th about the legal moves against the play The Rose Tattoo in 1957 quoted from a contemporary document from the Attorney General's office. The report incorrectly described this as a letter to the Director of Public Prosecutions. In fact, the document was addressed to the Ard Aighne (Attorney General). The DPP's office was not established until 1974.
