If there is a future, it will be Green.
The deputy told me to my face in 2007 that he would not lead the greens into government with FF and now this nonsense and this coming from a man whom I actually admired at one stage.
Disgraceful.

Same with me. From a party with a history of the Planet Bertie speech, for them to scream that 'it was them telling porkies, not us, gov' sounds pretty hollow.

'Dear Diary,
I knitted some lentils this morning and then I decided to throw my morals out of the window and get into bed with FF. Enda wouldn't listen when I begged him to talk to the Shinners.
Ah well, maybe we'll get to do something about lightbulbs. I just won't look at my reflection in the mirror in the mornings. Better go, I have some constituents to fool'.
Wow, you guys really are getting down with your Fianna Fail buddies!
Deliberately distorting quotes and misquoting people and everything!
Incidentally, I'm not actually an FG voter!
Dear diary
Enda Kenny asked me to have a word with the shinners. I told him to do it himself at which point he started calling them kneecappers and so forth.
If there is a future, it will be Green.
Er the only party that was shown to be duplicitous in the past was The Green "we won't go into government with FF - oh yes we will" Party.
The Greens NEVER ruled out coalition with FF.
Check your facts.
And while we're talking about facts, hopfully we'll get to the bottom of this.
Kenny's getting his kn1ckers in a twist about the shinners, that's for sure.
If there is a future, it will be Green.
The most shocking thing for me is that Trevor Sargent is alive!!
last i heard of him was after the last ge in 2007, dissappeared after that......
Statement from Fine Gael on the matter has just been issued.
