In a report in yesterday's editions, it was incorrectly stated that the number of pharmacy places at Trinity College Dublin is to increase from 70 to 120. In fact, all third-level colleges have been invited to apply to meet the increase of 50 places. The error occurred in the editing process.

The site in Cork city referred to in last Saturday's report headed "Large Cork city centre site designated as shopping area" has been declared an area of renewal only. Contrary to what was stated, a tax incentive scheme does not apply.

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