Widening rift in Green Party over controversial Ceta deal

Green Party leader and Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications and Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan was criticised for not condemning bullying within the party in an open letter to members.

At least two formal complaints have been made to the Green Party headquarters over an op-ed article by a party senator in the Irish Examiner.

Pauline O'Reilly penned the piece on the controversial Ceta trade deal — a trade agreement between Canada and the European Union — in the newspaper on Friday, in response to a piece arguing against the deal by Sinn Féin's Mairead Farrell.
