Greens deputy leader blasts de Burca

Green Party deputy leader Mary White has described as "deplorable" the behaviour of Deirdre de Burca, who resigned this week from the Senate and from the party saying she believed it had become an extension of Fianna Fail.

Carlow TD Ms White in a letter to Green Party members today said the criticism levelled by Ms de Burca at party leader John Gormley was scathing, unfair and totally groundless.
