Dublin mayoral election "could be next year" according to Eamon Ryan

More Green Party wobbles last night on one of its key pledges. Eamon Ryan has said the Dublin mayoral election "could be next year". This flies directly in the face of Green leader John Gormley's previous stance that the election would be held in 2010.

The Greens had held up the Dublin mayoral election as one of their key policy aims and Mr Gormley's spokesman last night insisted that the "intention" was still to hold the election before the end of the year.

Despite this however Mr Ryan said the Government was now adopting a "wait and see" approach.

"It could be this year, it could be next year. There hasn't been a final call made on that," he told RTE.
