O’Rourke says publish Bord Snip report

THE Bord Snip report recommending major spending cuts should be made public as soon as possible according to Fianna Fáil TD Mary O’Rourke who yesterday urged her colleagues in Government to “publish and be damned”.

The former minister and TD for Longford Westmeath said the report by the so-called Bord Snip Nua should be published “in all its horrors”.

Taoiseach Brian Cowen has not committed to publishing the report and said it was unlikely the Dáil would debate it before it breaks for the summer.
