We can look back with pride: Gilmore

Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore rattled off Labour’s greatest hits in a bid to buoy delegates at the opening night of the party’s centenary conference.

He cited a string of party achievements and leading figures and claimed Labour could “look back with pride” on its first 100 years.

“All too often, the Labour movement has been written out of the official historical script by those who prefer to take a simple Celtic-Rangers view of Irish history,” he said, using a football analogy to refer to Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.
