FG: Gogarty a rebel without a clue

GREEN TD Paul Gogarty was dubbed a “rebel without a clue” last night after giving conflicting messages on whether his party would back government school cuts or quit the coalition in protest at them.

Scrambling to regain credibility on the issue, Mr Gogarty told the Dáil that “the Greens are neither pulling out of government nor climbing down on the education issue”.

“We remain committed to working within government to effect positive change,” he said.
