IN our
report concerning Brian McTaggart who was sentenced to two years
imprisonment for an arson attack on a house at Parkmore Drive in
Magherafelt, Donna McElroy, who occupied the premises, was misdescribed
as McTaggart's ex-girlfriend. In fact Ms McElroy had no connection with
McTaggart whatsoever. We are happy to clarify the position.
