Green Party congratulates Michael McDowell
Statement by John Gormley TD, Green Party Chairman
The Green Party congratulates Michael McDowell on his elevation to the position of PD leader. It’s clear that Mr McDowell will move the party in a more right wing, neo-conservative direction, and that any pretense of the PDs being a liberal party has now vanished.
There can be no doubt that the PDs will always put corporate profit above the quality of life of individuals and their communities. We look forward to robust exchanges across the floor of the Dail on the future direction of this country. At the very least, Mr McDowell brings clarity to that important debate.
