Green Party members fear health, housing could be sacrificed during Govt talks

Green Party leader, Eamon Ryan

There are fears among some Green Party members that key areas in which they want to see "radical change", such as health and housing will be sacrificed due to concerns over the economy.

Housing was "parked" as a discussion topic last week after days of disagreement between Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and The Greens, and Tuesday's discussion regarding the economy only furthered concern that issues on which Eamon Ryan's party campaigned heavily on will only see "small incremental changes", described by one TD as "kicking the can down the road".
