Labour party leader Eamon Gilmore spoke to Aengus Mac Grianna on this evening’s Six One News in light of Labour’s performance in the local and European elections.
He said:
“We have to renew Government. We have to renew what we’re doing in Government. We have to hear very clearly the squeeze that families are under and to address that….and the Labour party has to renew itself.”
When asked about his leadership he said:
“Well there’s no question about my leadership. I’ve taken on a responsibility and the responsibility we took on in Government we knew at the time was always going to be a difficult responsibility and I intend to discharge that responsibility and to continue doing so.”
Gilmore intends to continue as Labour leader (RTÉ News)

I’m a student at the Cork Centre for Architectural Education. We have our end of year exhibition of student work coming up and we were wondering if we could get a mention on the blog.
To wit:
An event held annually to exhibit the works of UCC/CITs joint architecture course at Cork Centre for Architectural Education. From first to masters year each display represents the ethos and explorations of every student through photography, model making, computer graphics, woordwork, metalwork and hand drawn pieces. The exhibition aims to create a public plaform to involve the community in the works of the students.
