A blog by a true Irish Green, who is disgusted by the performance, ethics, and gombeenism of the Irish Green Party in Government
Are the Greens so out of touch or maybe she has calculated that with all the new plumb jobs created in NAMA for Accountants, Financial advisers etc, she might get a thank you vote since stillorgan would be a good catchment area for such types
ReplyDeleteThen again are the voters there that stupid?
Sadly the Greens are totally out of touch.
ReplyDeleteMaybe shes hoping to follow in the footsteps of other failed Green election candidates such as Elizabeth Davidson, Vincent P Martin and Gene Feighery.
Over 1/3 of the Green politicians who failed to get elected or lost seats in the local elections in 2009 have already been appointed to state quangos by Gormley or Ryan. These appointments were neither transparent of fair, and there was no formal interview process.
Maybe Meabh is hoping for a cushy little quango appointment?
