Below is a comment left on this blog by Charlie Williams of the Donegal Green Party. As some of you may know the Donegal Green Party, disassociated themselves from the main Green Party on 1 November 2009 with a 94% majority of their voting members.
And yes Charlie, I'd like to hear other questions you have for John Gormley. This blog is widely read by Green Party members (including some of the PP I hear!) ... I'll give anything you say it's own post.
Charlie's words follow ...
_____________________________________________
How do the government want to achieve their target of 75% household waste recycled until 2013 when there is NO national plan or strategy for recycling at all and there is NO existing recycling industry in the country? Massively faking the statistics? ....
Where is the support for the Shell To Sea campaign (=> http://www.shelltosea.com) gone? The "Rossport Five" once got standing ovations from the "Green Party" members and their whole leadership on one of their conventions. ...
Why did Eamon Ryan stop (after obviously again briefed by multinational oil companies) a nationwide canola programme which he first introduced based on a European Greens' concept? Instead of being produced decentralised by local farmers, rapeseed oil is now coming from countries where rainforest is cut down to plant the canola.=> http://donegalgreens.com/?p=39 ....
I would have more questions if required. The "Green Party" leadership just ignore them and do NOT answer a single one of them.
The Donegal Greens (http://donegalgreens.com) took their consequence and disassociated themselves from the "Green Party" on 1 November 2009 with a 94% majority of their voting members. John Gormley who never had shown any support for the Donegal Greens massively posted to our members that this vote would have been invalid. Colm Ó Caomhánaigh prompted us to shut down our website. Since my open letter to John Gormley (http://donegalgreens.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Open-letter-to-John-Gormley-10-Dec-2009.pdf) we haven't heard from them anymore.
John Gormley and Eamon Ryan have been constantly ignoring my letters sent to them.
The members and leadership of the "Green Party" ignore any question posed to them in their private discussion forum on Politics.ie.
Their former openness has lost against cronyism.
In my view the leadership AND the membership of the "Green Party" have betrayed their own constitution!
Thank you for this thread here.
Charlie Williams.
