Eamon Ryan wants to return with the Green team

Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has said he hopes to return to the Dáil with four TDs after the general election. He said that on a good day, he sees them coming home with a “team” to again establish the Green Party as a force in national politics.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner as his party launched its general election campaign, Mr Ryan said Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Tánaiste Joan Burton “have got it all wrong” in the election promises.

He has attacked Fine Gael and Labour for engaging in “auction politics” saying they are repeating the mistakes that caused the 2008 crash.
