Gilmore: More public-spending cuts on way

The Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore has confirmed the Government will have to cut public spending even further in the next budget.

Speaking at the Tom Johnson Summer School in Kilkenny yesterday, Mr Gilmore warned that economic sovereignty cannot be regained if every single spending cut and reform is resisted.

The Labour Party leader said the coalition was faced with hard decisions as further cuts would have to be inflicted.
