A new Green/Social Ecology/Social Justice Federation

I thought these words of wisdom from Cllr Pat Kavanagh (Independent Green - Wicklow Town Council) deserved a blog post all of their own.

Pat commented on one of my posts below as follows ... "The time for you, me, and everyone in the country to get up off our collective arses is now. The Green Party/Comhaontas Glas might be in trouble, but the International Green Movement is key to the future. You don't need to be a member of the GP to promote this agenda. It starts locally, it's organic, and it grows. Everybody can play their part, big or small.

Anybody who is interested in joining a discussion forum with disaffected and Ex-Greens with a view to establishing a Green/Social Ecology/Social Justice Federation can contact me at

Kind regards,

Cllr Pat Kavanagh
Independent Green"

Pat is 100% correct. The time for hand wringing and analysis of "what-if's" is long gone. I am convinced that the answer to Ireland's woes starts with adoption of a "true Green" agenda. The Irish Green Party has failed us, but there is a broader Green church we can all aspire to. This starts with individual, local action. Pat is correct ... these small local acorns can grow into something much bigger.

And a new Green/Social Ecology/Social Justice Federation might be the way to start.
