Roderic O’Gorman’s comments came as 300 Green Party delegates attended a convention in Dublin
Roderic O’Gorman fears a lot of the Green Party's achievements may be undone by the next government. Photograph: Bryan O’Brien / The Irish Timeshas criticised Labour and the Social Democrats for not “fighting” to be a part of the next government and instead leaving the two main parties to do deals with conservative former members.
“During the recent general election campaign, I voiced my worries about what a Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael government propped up by independents would look like in terms of policy and we’re already seeing them come true in some of the briefings in the media over the last two weeks.
“Instead, they have dropped the mandate that they were given by the electorate. It’s genuinely shocking. And I have to ask: What is the point in chasing the vote if you’re afraid to do anything with it?” As it is, he said, there have to be concerns about what will happen in terms of the next government’s climate policies.
