Greens to launch assault on Government

THE Green Party will launch an assault on the Government when the Dáil resumes next week by highlighting its "incompetence" in a range of areas.

The Government's record on healthcare, education, crime prevention and more will come under the spotlight in the Greens' first Dáil motion of the new term.

Party leader Trevor Sargent will point to the continuing overcrowding of A&E departments, high class sizes, the absence of "real choice" for parents needing childcare, and similar problems.
