We have been concerned in the past week about a rift in Government between the Green Party and Fianna Fáil. Now we appear to have a rift within the Green Party regarding the rotation of cabinet posts.
We should understand this for what it is, however, because it is the worst form of cronyism. It is not about party or country. It is about individual jobs for the boys.
We had the Green Party preach about cronyism before the last election. Since that election we have had appointments of Green Party candidates to FÁS, the National Disability Authority, the Organic Food Agency, the Library Council, the Irish Film Classification Office and the Private Residential Tenancies Board.
We also had the spectacle of a Senator who rejected the Green Party because she failed to get appointed to the cabinet of the European Commission an independent office.
The Greens promised to clean up cronyism. Does they not how appreciate how this hypocritical action on their part is damaging politics?
