Cork Green Party councillor claims leadership move 'not at all like House of Cards'

Green Party leaders Eamon Ryan (centre) with party councillors Oliver Moran and Lorna Bogue recently.

There is nothing “House of Cards” like about a move by four Cork councillors to encourage Catherine Martin to challenge the leadership of Eamon Ryan, according to Councillor Lorna Bogue.

Cllr Bogue insists that they are just trying to do what is right for the party saying that the Green Party constitution mandates that a leadership election must occur within six months of a General Election.
