‘New leadership’ needed as Gormley quits

THE Green Party chairman Dan Boyle has said there must be an opportunity for a new generation to steer the movement following John Gormley’s decision to step aside.

Mr Gormley emailed his party colleagues at the weekend and said a “completely new leadership” needed to take over.

The outgoing leader said he would not contest the post when the party conducts a mandatory review of its affairs following the recent electoral wipe-out.
