No-show for Greens in Dáil as party faces ‘Stalingrad’ claims

NO Green party members turned up for Education Minister Batt O’Keeffe’s defence of the education cutbacks in the Dáil last night.

The opposition claimed the issue would be the Greens’ “Stalingrad”, because they are supporting the cutbacks even though improvements in education formed a key aspect of the party’s manifesto.

The Greens were conspicuous by their absence as Mr O’Keeffe sparred with the opposition on the cutbacks.
