YOUR ARTICLE “Citizens, journalists” (last issue) on the investigations that Paul Lewis and I have conducted for The Guardian incorrectly stated that we were the “two who broke G20 death story”. I did not break the Ian Tomlinson story — this was the work of Paul Lewis alone.

APOLOGY

Suzanne Breen

IN THE September/October edition of the Journalist we published a letter by Paddy McGarvey under the headline “Union hero Suzanne Breen was ‘licensed by the Real IRA’.”

We unreservedly accept that the allegations in the headline and article were totally and absolutely without foundation and should never have been published by us in the first place.

We fully accept that Suzanne Breen has at all times conducted interviews and investigations on a professional basis as a journalist, and we sincerely apologise to her for publishing false allegations to the contrary.
