PRESS RELEASE:16/05/2009


Independent Euro Candidate slams Green Party's Belated Concern on Programme in Government.


Independent Euro candidate Patricia McKenna has dismissed the calls by Green Party Chairman, Dan Boyle, for a re-thinking of the programme for Government as a cynical exercise in political posturing.

She said: "Voicing concern now about the flawed programme for Government at this particular point in time must be seen for what it is. The Green Party showed little concern when medical cards were being taken away from pensioners, books and special needs assistants were being taken away from school children and bus services taken away from Dublin's public transport users."


McKenna added: "Unfortunately the timing of this concern does not indicate that the Green Party has suddenly seen the light and the folly in its ways but that in fact it has seen the figures of the recent opinion polls showing them sliding further and further into decline."
 

"This statement must be seen for what it is - just another political promise that after the vote the Green Party will listen to the people", she concluded.
