Greens would get into bed with anyone, admits Eamon Ryan

In politics, you have to be committed but open minded. For Eamon Ryan, anything’s possible. The Green leader is ambitious, you could say almost politically unrestrained.

“I’ve always said this, it sounds promiscuous but I’d get into bed with anyone. I would. It’s just honest.”

Politics does make strange bedfellows. Nonetheless, the Dublin Bay South politician admits the Greens — who returned two TDs in this Dáil after a walloping in the last general election — are open to doing business with almost any party or group of politicians if it involved going into government.
