Gogarty: Greens have been screwed by FF

ANOTHER senior Green Party figure has rounded on the party, questioning its role in government and whether it has the courage to stand up to Fianna Fáil.

Paul Gogarty TD said the party had “prostituted” itself by getting into bed with Fianna Fáil, telling the current edition of Hot Press magazine: “We’ve been screwed by them a few times, but we are hoping we can roll them around to get what we want, over the longer term.”

The Dublin Mid-West deputy says the party was “stupid” to prioritise relatively minor environmental issues while failing to get across “the bread and butter message”.
