Phone company BT has apologised after wrongly including Donegal in an advertisement celebrating the London Olympics.
Newspaper adverts in British newspapers over the weekend claimed towns from Donegal to Dundee would be celebrating in the countdown to the 2012 games.
DUP Assembly member Simon Hamilton spotted the mistake, saying he was sure the people of Durham are pleased to see the UK play host to the Olympic Games in 2012 but he wasn’t so sure about the people of Donegal.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was in Beijing for the Olympic torch handover at the weekend and there were events across the UK planned, including one in Belfast to mark the date.
A BT spokesperson acknowledged the error and said: ‘It looks as if our enthusiasm for Team GB's fantastic performance got the better of us and we apologise for any confusion.’
