Gilmore says Labour-led govt is possible

Labour Party leader Eamon Gilmore has reiterated his view that a Labour-led government is possible in this country for the first time ever.

Speaking at the SIPTU conference in Tralee today, Mr Gilmore said politics in Ireland was now a three-way contest following the results of the recent local and European elections.

He said this had been proven by opinion polls and it was his objective to achieve a Labour-led government after the next election.
