Broughan remains coy, but Gilmore still looks a shoo-in

MAVERICK Labour TD Tommy Broughan was staying tight-lipped last night over whether he would force frontrunner Eamon Gilmore into a contest for the party leadership.

However, it looked as if Mr Gilmore could expect a “coronation” when nominations for the post close this Thursday.

If he is challenged, the 4,500 party members eligible to vote will have until October 4 to make their choice.
