Greens’ move was not political desperation

THE Green Party initiative towards political consensus was not a “blunderbuss act of political desperation”, as stated by your political correspondent Shaun Connolly (October 19).

Rather, it was a bold political move that has succeeded in giving this country some hope in the difficult economic times we are facing.

I am sick to death of the Greens being treated as Ireland’s political whipping boys by a political press that has itself done a U-turn of mammoth proportions.
