CORRECTION In the December 1973 Gazette, in an article at page 248 there appeared a statement that "complaints are made in U.C.D. about terrible staff-student ratios, and lecturers who know no Irish law"'. As most of the staff of the Law Faculty in University College are graduates either of the National University, or of Queen's L T ni-

versity (Belfast), this statement does not apply to them- The view expressed is obviously not that of the Law Society nor of its Editor, and it is regretted that such a statement published negligently should have cam offence.
