IMF Told Ireland At Risk of Repeating Mistakes of the Past

The I-M-F's been told that Ireland is on the verge of repeating the same mistakes that caused the financial crisis.

It's been warned that plans for aggressive tax cuts could make it more difficult to keep up with public spending.

The I-M-F's organised a conference at Dublin Castle today, while its head Christine Lagarde meets with government ministers.

But economist Tom Healy of the Nevin Economic Research Institute has told the conference we're looking at a repeat of previous mistakes.
