"The problem for the Greens is that, on the big issues, they’ve been proven right. "
Letter in the same paper the Greens and Climate Activists are the Realists.

"I believe that climate justice is social justice. That core green belief is woven throughout this programme for government. It can be seen in the plans for infrastructure development that are focused on housing, retrofitting and public transport. Retrofitting in particular will be aimed at the Midlands region, and on social and low-income tenancies. This will make many Irish homes warmer, more sustainable and cheaper to run for the occupants."

A bit after 8:30.
"Ireland's Green Party vote 76% in favour of coalition government "

Sat/Sun/Mon . . . Cabinet appointments are interesting . . .

Stuns? . . Really? 

Appointing someone with Agriculture experience to the post seems good.

And someone outside Dublin/Cork (living on farm in Offaly and from Mayo originally I think)..

"Ms Hackett, a farmer from Offaly, and the party's spokesperson for Agriculture, Food, and the Marine was elected to the Seanad in a by-election in November last year. "

I would guess appointments would be discussed and a consensus reached as much as possible.

The real test of the programme for government will be in the delivery of it rather than in the writing of it. Invest in homes for people. Health system. Looking after environment. Building new energy systems.

"All three parties in this new Government believe that climate change is a defining challenge not just of this generation but of human history. The programme we have agreed puts action on climate change into the work of every part of Government."
