DUE to serious problems at the EADT's print centre, most copies of Saturday's newspaper will be delivered late today.

The printing difficulties mean that deliveries in most parts of the EADT's circulation area will be seriously affected.

Terry Hunt, EADT editor, said: “I would like to offer my most sincere apologies for today's problems, which we realise will cause inconvenience to many of our loyal readers, and to those colleagues who sell and deliver our newspapers.

“Unfortunately, we have experienced extremely serious problems on our press during the night, and this has had a knock-on effect.

“Once again, I would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused, and I can assure our readers that we are doing all we possibly can to get their favourite newspaper to them.

“I would also like to pay tribute to our wholesale distributors, and our partners in the news trade, who are working very hard to distribute today's EADT.''
