Gilmore urges Taoiseach to quit

The Labour Party Leader has renewed his call for Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to step aside in the interest of the country saying his continued tenure is "a national embarrassment".

Speaking ahead of his party’s one day conference at the Mansion House today, Mr Gilmore urged Mr Ahern to do the honourable thing after he makes his address to the American House of Representatives in April.
