I refer to the article titled EU Funds: I Was A Scapegoat (March 13) and to the readers’ comments on this same item. One such comment referred to the Steps scholarship scheme and its interviewing board and used words that appear unkind and harsh.

This comment was written by me.  I sincerely state that I had no intention whatsoever of harming anyone in particular and, hereby, apologise publicly for what I have written.

It is human nature to make mistakes by sometimes letting our emotions cloud our judgement and this will serve as a lesson to myself not to let this happen again.
