The Greens will suffer in the short term but they’ll rebuild very quickly and next time round we’ll see a resurgence followed by a dip etc etc
But the Green agenda will never die and it’ll be a case of 3 steps forward and 2 steps back as they go from strength to strength in the long term
Hmmm. His ‘propensity’ to cover up and not be transparent?
The minister who finally gave adopted people in ireland the right to their own information after decades of inactivity by ffg? I’d say that’s the very opposite of covering up.
We’ll see at the next election. He was caught out misleading people during referendum. Electing him as leader of Greens is an obvious own goal.
He was also the person who signed off on an abitrary 180
Days requirement for people to benefit under mother and child redress scheme so a person who spent 179 days in An institution gets nothing and is ignored.
I wasnt attacking you for a typo. I was pointing out that your point was bollox. Roderic implrmented the 6 months as was recommended by a report iirc. Nothing arbitrary/arbtrary/abs/arbour hill about it. You suggested he picked the number out of his arse, which was just a lazy swing, and completely wrong. Whatever your opinions about ROG, he has been incredibly active and productive on the mother and baby homes type issues, introducing new legislation in the information and tracing bill, and providing counselling and the redress scheme. He was abused at every turn for it. And yet he proceeded because it was the right thing to do about one of the most shameful chapters in irish history. Nobody bar Zappone before him went near this issue. FFG washed their hands of it for years. Bertie absolved the church of all damages for fucks sake.
By all means swing at him for hiding legal advice or other things but on this issue he has been brilliant.
