Gilmore: Big business will try to topple Labour

LABOUR leader Eamon Gilmore has warned his members that big business will seek to prevent the party getting into government.

Mr Gilmore said the commercial interests that had “propped up Fianna Fáil for so long” would use “every means possible” to block Labour at the next election.

Such a campaign could mimic the “coup” that forced Australia’s prime minister to step aside last month, he claimed.
