Ahern dismisses suggestions of internal revolt

THE Taoiseach and Tánaiste yesterday played down suggestions of a roll back on the Government's decentralisation plans.

Dismissing suggestions of a ministerial and backbench revolt against the plan to move 10,000 public servants down the country, Mr Ahern said decentralisation might run behind time but would still be fully implemented.

Denying that policy was collapsing, Ms Harney said most targets would be reached within the timeframe.
