About LinkBacksAfter two days of Dail sittings this week I havent heard a Green voice-perhaps the reason is that they have discovered that the noisy interventions of Trevor and his fellow greens in the past were inimical in the context of climate change.

They aren't the main party in the coalition, so it isn't usual to hear them speaking in the Dáil all too often. Given their circumstances, I think you'll hear more of their sound bites in the media.

I wouldn't think a Green vow of any kind carries much weight these days.

There will be an almighty uproar from within their party if they don't start to deliver in the medium term. Gormley is particularly vulnerable given the Tara mess. At the minute they have been given a fools pardon or many have chose to take the opportunity on face value, but as the local elections approach the heat will be turned up and if there is not some delivery and clear achievement support will ebb.
Their fortunes are in their own hands but how would anyone like to try to make progress in a FF government? They will need to play a very clever game.

Mr Gormley told the Dáil he would release the file in the near future "to ensure the highest levels of transparency and accountability".

Lay off the Greens. Ireland and the entire world faces problems. The only way we can tackle climate change and the dwindling natural resources stocks is through Green policies been implemented in some ways. Without a Green party in power this won't happen. So it is necessary to make compromises (In case you forget, is after all the art of politics) in order to reach primary climate change goals.
And yes, I am a Green party Member, and yes, I was very strongly in favour of them going into government.

Lordy, Nordy, what can I say? Sorry! We'll try to be more considerate in future, and give the Greens an easy ride. After all, they deserve it -- having made such a big sacrifice (their principles).
And thanks for the info about Niall Quinn. (Is he in FG?)
