Mayo breakpoint for Greens in government

IF the Green agenda is really going to mean anything at all in terms of communities, habitats, resources and the environment, I suggest Environment Minister John Gormley and his colleagues consider kissing Fianna Fáil and the PD coalition goodbye in defence of all who stand to lose so much in Glenad, Rossport and Erris.

I think any hope I had that the Greens’ involvement in government might actually make a difference is well and truly quashed.

Remember Michael McDowell? Do you remember how some people celebrated when he was defeated?
