Boyle’s master plan includes local election bid in 2014

And Mr Boyle, 51, who has released an album and written a book on his party’s ill-fated role in the previous government, has also revealed he is now writing a “rom-com” inspired by his time in politics.
Mr Boyle, who played a key role negotiating the Green Party’s coalition with Fianna Fáil, and in the party’s decision to pull out of government in Feb 2011, will attend his first lecture today as he embarks on a year-long master’s in government and public policy.
