Eamon Ryan wants Green Party to return with six TDs

Politicians have “an obligation” to keep the Dáil in place for at least another 18 months, Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has said.

Mr Ryan also said he wants his party to return to Government with six TDs.

The Dublin Bay South TD said: “I think we have an obligation in this Parliament, all of us, to have an election sometime between the Autumn of 2018 and the summer of 2019. I think if we let it fall before then we are doing a disservice to the Irish people.”
