Green Party ministers jetting off for Paddy’s Day.

yeah but those of us privileged enough to be able to fly, which is something like 5 to 10% of the world's population that fly once a year at least, wont be giving it up any time soon, green party or not

How is the railway from Wexford to Waterford doing? Wexford to Rosslare?

When's the train line from Athenry to Tuam re-opening? Any plans to continue it to Claremorris?

We need connectivity ...

I'd be interested in knowing how Ryan in Singapore will improve our connectivity with our diaspora. And it's not such a big country that we will gain a lot of tourists by him going there.

Just imagine Dozy advising the people of Singapore to plant lettuces on their south-facing windowsills!

maybe ask FF/FG why they ignored all this since the foundation of the state? you expect Big Eamon to have this sorted by now after FF/FG ignored it and let it all rot for 100 years? he inherited a total mess from the other clowns and still is currently doing more than they ever did.

Singapore is one of the most important cities for financial services in the world and we are very involved in this sector in Ireland

The last time a green candidate came around looking for my vote, I specifically pointed out that until they got rid of the fools who wiped FF's ass for them 2007-2011 they needn't look for my vote. The candidate sheepishly agreed that it was a shame Ryan et al didn't just shove off.

So in brief, I expect nothing of Ryan. Mercury-filled bulbs and non-polluting Diesel cars he was shilling for back in 2008, now it's greenways and electric cars (now where does that lithium come from; & who organised a coup d'etat in Bolivia to get their hands on Bolivian Lithium?). Not to mention his own big diesel guzzler.

E Ryan almost single handedly rebuilt the party after the 2011 election.

He even subsidised the organisation with his own money.

Did they make mistakes?

Yes of course they did but we are all flawed.

Life is full of compromises.

The only people who believe that nonsense are The National Party and The Irish Freedom Party.

Anyone who is surprised by GP hypocrisy or how their religion only applies to the unwashed has been asleep for quite a while.

Few in that party and nobody in power there has any interest in mitigating climate change.

Eamonn Ryan and Roderick o Gorman are the two most dangerous people to the medium/long term interest of our country alive today.

It's all about dogma, power and control..

Same as every other religion.

I don't think going to Australia/new zealand by boat to watch the woman's world cup would be that practical...

Ryan is such a marvellous leader that the first thing the GP did after the last GE was organise a coup to get rid of him, and it came within a whisker of succeeding. That should tell you a lot about Ryan and also about the party he rebuilt single-handed.

I've voted green in the past, but never again. The real green positions have been taken on board by several other parties so they wouldn't be needed even if they weren't a toxic brand.

We’re a way too full of our self importance in Ireland. Other countries couldn’t give a fook about paddy’s day, it’s just an excuse for a pish up. I hope Ryan is being sent to Singapore on a ship to reduce his not so green footprint, hope he enjoys it, cause I doubt he’ll ever see the governing side of the dail again.
