Greens ‘only care about own jobs’

THE Greens have been accused of caring only for their jobs after they again failed to quash rumours of an internal row over which of them serves in Cabinet.

The Greens are believed to have agreed a “rotation pact” prior to entering Government in 2007, under which party leader John Gormley would move aside mid-term to allow backbench colleague Ciarán Cuffe a spell in Cabinet.

The Greens have repeatedly failed to deny the existence of the pact since TV3 first reported on the issue on Monday.
