Gilmore appeals to voters in an attempt to block FG ‘monopoly’

RECOVERING from another slip in the polls, Labour leader Eamon Gilmore appealed to voters to deny Fine Gael a “monopoly of power” on voting day.

Mr Gilmore last night also laid out the first signs of any negotiations with Fine Gael for a government by insisting that his party would oppose cuts to child welfare and any return to a system of college fees, as planned by Enda Kenny’s party.

Mr Gilmore said voters had to decide on Friday whether to elect a single party government or a coalition involving Labour.
