Pippa Hackett has admitted that it will be an “uphill battle” to win a seat at the next general election, as voting in the Green Party leadership contest begins.
The Offaly senator has spoken about her own chances at the upcoming election, while also hitting back at the assertion that she would not be able to lead the Greens effectively from the Seanad.
