Modified Greens?

AS the Green Party chews over a possible deal with ‘the devil’, it’s interesting that their gnawing and spitting over the past decade regarding GM crops, and the pre-election desire for a so-called GM-free Ireland, has been moved to the side of the plate.

Right now in Ireland, a GM potato field trial option has approval until 2010 and GM products are used in most elements of the Irish feed and food chain.

Can the taste of power make anything palatable? Or have the Greens finally digested the scientific facts that approved GM crops are safe and here to stay?
