    I'm a bit confused. They were suspended because of serious allegations weren't they? So why would the press apologise when thatls the truth?

    It was my understanding they were suspended because of dissident activity, from that article, which apparently isn't the case. Plus, WLR reportedly said the same. So if they were wrong, they generally retract or apologise?

    I know but look at what you wrote: "and they quoted David Cullinane I do believe as saying two members were suspended for serious allegations" Why would they have to retract that or apologise for it, you didn't say dissident activity, that;s why I was confused. :)

    2 members were suspended, but it wasn't for dissident activity. It was a coincidence that it happened around the same time as this ongoing dissident issue. The papers assumed it was linked and printed it that it was for dissident activity.

    As David said on the paper - One was suspended for 'serious allegations'. It is my understanding that they are not of a political nature and has nothing to do with the party itself.

    I would certainly expect an apology to be printed in the News & Star.

    It's not unlucky. It's poor journalism. Next time, they should clarify their facts before printing erroneous articles.
