Election 2024: Party leader makes pitch to voters on eve of general election being called
Election 2024: The Green Party has 'dealt with sniping every day' during its time in Government, Roderic O’Gorman said. Photograph: Sam Boal/Collins Photosbeing called, Mr O’Gorman said the Greens “may have been the smallest party in this Government but we have had the largest impact in terms of policy.
Ms O’Reilly urged people to “find your Green” on the ballot paper. “Back us, because we know that there will be large parties back in government again,” she said. “Who do you want in there?”Mr O’Gorman acknowledged the polls suggest the two larger parties will be back in government. But he said a government with just Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, or one where they’re propped up by Independents, would be very different from the outgoing Coalition.
Mr O’Gorman said: “We’ve shown that we cut our emissions by 7 per cent last year. They’re at their lowest in 30 years.” Mr O’Gorman, who is Minister for Children and Integration, has had to grapple with a crisis in asylum seeker accommodation amid an increase in people coming to Ireland during the war in Ukraine and arrivals from other countries seeking international protection.
Mr O’Gorman also said he has “no doubt” far-right parties will try to capitalise on the immigration issue in the upcoming campaign.
