Found this on Politics.ie, in a thread about spoiled votes:

Link? I went looking for the thread and couldn't find it.

Weird, I can't find it now either.

Have the Greens said anything yet about whether Shannon is a 'dealbreaker 'for them?

 

[magnetize]

none of their 6 tds had signed up to the anti-shannon pledge, so it definatley isnt

 

[MDR]

But apart from the pledge, has it emerged from the current negotiations?

 

[magnetize]

bertie wont budge on it

 

[magicbastarder]

if they go into coalition without securing a rerouting of the M3, they will never get my vote again.

No. It hasn't even been mentioned. But they were all blathering on about pre-election so it better be.

That and the above. If they don't get at least those two items sorted, I reckon they'll go the way of the PD's next time around. Which will probably be less than five years.

hopefully the decision will be "go fuck yourselves"... although if FF have to be in power, i'd rather see the Greens in with them than the bleedin PDs and a load of independents.

Having said that....

Word on the street is that Gormley and Sargent are involved in a power struggle.

You won't be able to move for bleeding cyclists in the city and we'll have more of those non-polluting buses, please, thanks.

God save us.

 

[magicbastarder]

word on the street is that sargent is not that well liked within the green party. then again, i heard that from someone who would not call himself a fan of theirs.

 

[Goff]

Probably cos he's too "normal".

ie, not a complete raving nutter who doesn't have a clue about economics.

you gotta love irish politics:
"(Sargent) is well known for waving in the council chamber a cheque received in the post from a builder who was seeking planning permission for a housing development. When he asked the other members whether any of them had also received cheques, he was assaulted by a number of his fellow councillors. Sargent alleged that Fianna Fáil councillor Don Lydon put him in a headlock and attempted to snatch the cheque from him."

No one likes a snitch. You'd wonder did Lydon want the extra or not get his own.

Charlie McCreevy was physically assaulted in Leinster house by FF deputies in the 80's after an unsuccessful heave against Haughey. FF are very adapt at getting physical when needs be. Biffo Cowen looks like he might actually eat someone at times.

Greens have to make decision by tomorrow

and need a two-thirds majority of their delegates at the weekend conference.
