Crisis for Greens as Gogarty resigns
The maverick Dublin West TD said he was resigning from the front bench because activists voted to set up a new body to deal with education strategy — a move the outspoken deputy said “undermined” his position.
Despite his dramatic walkout, Mr Gogarty said he would remain in his e20,000-a-year post as chairperson of the Oireachtas education committee unless Green leader John Gormley wanted him to stand down.
