Gilmore’s call to boost country’s reputation

TÁNAISTE Eamon Gilmore pressed Irish ambassadors to help restore our economic sovereignty and stop the severe battering of the country’s reputation abroad.

The Labour leader also backed calls for Europe to come up with a more comprehensive plan to address financial crises in member states.

Addressing 72 Irish ambassadors who arrived yesterday for a two-day conference, Mr Gilmore reiterated the message that the country was open for business.
