Martin Ṍ Muilleoir
An article published by the News Letter online on November 7th 2019, under the headline “IRA Army Council still oversees Sinn Fein strategy - PSNI says 2015 assessment unchanged”, contained an incorrect picture caption.
The picture caption inaccurately stated that the then Minister of Finance, Martin Ṍ Muilleoir, had been questioned at the RHI public inquiry on his communications with unelected senior IRA figures at a key time in the RHI saga.
In fact, the caption should have stated that the individuals were senior Republicans. We apologise to Mr Muilleoir for the error, and have agreed to publish this apology and to pay compensation to Mr Ṍ Muilleoir.
