    Spotted this on breakingnews.ie; check the article and read below:
    The Tánaiste and Minister for Health Mary Harney has insisted that she is running scared from nurses angered by her handling of the health service.

    And just incase it gets updated, I've attached a screengrab of it below; notice the same error is in the sidebar image!

    Good old Internet that allows you to rectify these little problems.

    There is a legend in journalism, possibly true, that a sub editor on the Irish Times was sacked after Queen Victoria's visit to Ireland in the late 19th century after a terrible littoral appeared in a passage which should have read:

    'Crowds waved flags and cheered in admiration as Her Majesty passed over Carlisle Bridge. '
