Clarification
IN OUR edition of Sunday 6 August, comments were attributed to Stephen Minton, from the School of Education in Trinity College, Dublin, in relation to claims that had been made at the 5th International Conference on Workplace Bullying. Mr Minton has asked us to point out that he never made those comments, and indeed that the conference had never heard such claims.
Mr Minton also points out that comments attributed to him in relation to the RTE show Celebrity You're A Star were in fact made about the general arena of reality TV, specifically Big Brother and Wo r ld Wrestling Entertainment.
They were not made in response to a description of Green Party TD Dan Boyle as "the fat guy" by Celebrity You're A Star judge Louis Walsh. We apologise for any embarassment caused by the errors, which occurred in the editing process.
