Boyle says of coalition with FF: We went into this with eyes open

“We went into this with our eyes open,” Dan Boyle writes of the Green Party’s decision to enter government in 2007.

Maybe, but their lack of experience meant the Greens did not have 20:20 political vision, and it quickly showed.

The Greens were overwhelmed by their senior coalition partners, Fianna Fáil, who were in turn overwhelmed by the economic crash which they had helped cause.
