Regret the Error

ON June 12, 2005, we reported that Ms Lisa Nolan of Mounthawk Tralee had been arrested in Ecuador after a quantity of cocaine had been found in her luggage and that she was awaiting trial.
Although Ms Nolan was arrested and charged with drug trafficking offences in fact, contrary to our report, no drugs were found in her luggage or in her possession.
We are happy to correct the position.
Ms Nolan maintained her innocence from the outset. She was subsequently acquitted of all charges.
The person with whom she was travelling was charged and ultimately convicted of the drugs offences.
We apologise to Ms Nolan for the embarrassment and distress caused by our error.
