Greens may yet have another 30 years ...

TOMORROW, the Green Party celebrates. At a gathering in the Central Hotel in Dublin, members will raise a glass to 30-years-a-growing.

The venue is the place where a small group of activists gathered to introduce the ‘green’ movement to Ireland in 1981.

Later tomorrow, the party will continues with a concert in Vicar Street. Among the musicians will be Steve Wickham (of The Waterboys), Martin Hayes, Donal Lunny and Eleanor McEvoy. Say what you like about the Greens, they know their music and the best musicians know them. (Former Green Party TD Dan Boyle launched his own CD last week).
