The word in Wicklow is that Senator Deirde De Burca is to run in the local elections next year. Her thinking is that if she takes the seat she will then step down as a senator in October allowing another green to take it.
They plan to pull out of Government shortly after that and there will be an election and she would have no title going into that election, So she needs to become a Coucillor.
She has failed to deny this when asked by the media.
This will cause major problems in the green party in Bray because when De Burca got nominated to the senate Ciaran o Brien was co opted onto the County Council and Steve Mathews onto Bray Town Council, De Burca is now going to restand for those seats throwing O Brien and Mathews to the side and they are not happy and are feeling used.
This comes from a very good source in the Green party and very close to De Burca.
