Cloak of invisibility hides Labour’s broken promises

IF Harry Potter really has cast his spell across the Government, the results are far from magic.

In the manner of one of those Wicked Whispers, gossip-page teases: Which prominent Labour minister has taken to referring to Eamon Gilmore’s fondness for his “Harry Potter cloak of invisibility”?

Not that Gilmore should really mind as he insists there is no lingering challenge to his leadership. Which will be news to the many elected members of his party who believe Joan Burton is positioning herself to try and topple him — a situation first revealed in this column in January which has now gained widespread currency.
