Councillor quits over ‘spin and manipulation’

ANOTHER prominent figure has resigned from the Greens in protest at the actions the party has taken in Government.

Wicklow Town Councillor Pat Kavanagh wrote to Green leader John Gormley saying the party no longer represented her position. She also accused the leadership of manipulation.

“Unfortunately, I can no longer stand over certain decisions made on behalf of the Green Party at Government level, or justify them to myself or to my constituents, particularly in relation to the NAMA bill, appointments to state boards and the National Pensions Framework,” she said.
