Election 2024: Serving with tormentors; buses for bingo and pints; political deal-breakers and ... baby on the way
Election 2024: Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman at the launch of his party's general election manifesto. Photograph: The Irish TimesDragged out of Government Buildings by the heels — a task enthusiastically conducted by legions of backbenchers from his erstwhile Coalition partners.
But that was only the start. Rodericus now wants the electorate’s permission to serve another term with his tormentors if, as the perceived wisdom has it, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are returned to power.This is why the Greens latest manifesto is called “Towards 2030 — a decade of change, Volume II”.
It is crucially important for the Green Party to be given a sequel because there is no denying that the climate is changing. “It’s not that we want a sequel. We need a sequel,” she explained. The Greens are rightly proud of the growing network of these buses around the country. Party chairwoman Senator Pauline O’Reilly spoke in glowing terms of “the tapestry of public transport”.
The Soc Dems also want to be in with a shout at government but only if prospective senior partners agree to their “deal-breaker” red-line issues.
