Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

As I indicated on Second Stage, my personal beliefs in terms of what I would like the Green Party to do and what is achieved in the programme for Government are two different things. The Green Party will continue to honour the programme for Government until we negotiate a new one, possibly as coalition partners with Fine Gael after the next election. That party would do a much better deal and would find it much easier to negotiate with the Green Party than with the Labour Party.
