Greens are gone when needed most

AS we watch the new Minister for the Environment, Phil Hogan, starting to systematically dismantle many of the environmental measures brought in by the Greens, the idea that other parties have stolen our clothes is ringing very hollow already.

The thin veneer of green adopted by the other parties for election purposes is already starting to peel off.

While in government we were blamed for the bailing out of the banks, yet we see the new government doing exactly the same thing. We were blamed for going into government with Fianna Fáil as we had been amongst their greatest critics.
