Green leaders to meet grassroots in rescue attempt

THE Green Party’s senior figures are to travel the country to meet grassroots members in the hope of rescuing the movement after a catastrophic election.

The Greens’ Oireachtas deputies and senators met last night to discuss the fallout from the local and European elections in which the party was almost wiped off the local authority map.

At the meeting, it was decided the parliamentary party will tour the country to meet local organisations.
