An article in yesterday’s edition, concerning the upcoming annual conference of the Ireland Funds, stated in error that the organisation’s “Promising Ireland” campaign had already exceeded its midway target of raising $50,000 for Irish projects. It should have read $50 million.

The article also stated incorrectly that the five year campaign aimed to raise $100,000 rather than $100 million. The campaign has already raised close to $70 million according to Kieran McLaughlin,
president and chief executive of Worldwide Ireland Funds.
