Moylan would not have been ‘daunted’ by cuts

THE late Sean Moylan, War of Independence leader and former cabinet minister, would not have been in any sense daunted by the challenge of shaving€4 billion off spending.

Minister of State Tony Killeen made the claim when he spoke at Moylan’s graveside in Kiskeam, Co Cork, yesterday, during ceremonies commemorating the soldier and statesman, who died in 1957.

He said Sean Moylan, whose concern for the poor and the downtrodden was always tempered, as it had to be, by the economic realities of the time, would not have been deterred from taking the action which would be in the best interest of the people of the country.
