Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4An item in the Irish Times website by Harry McGee includes the following:
"The conference was interrupted by peace activist Ed Horgan who said he was resigning from the Green Party as it had abandoned its core principles.
Mr Horgan protested that the Greens had reneged on Rossport, on the Hill of Tara and on Shannon Airport, before he was ushered to the side by officials. The Greens later said that Mr Horgan’s membership of the party has expired since 2007."
This is incorrect. I was assured earlier this year that my green party membership was current. In addition I was a member of the Green Party through the University of Limerick Green Party Society, and I have documentary proof of this. It is the Green Party themselves that are expiring, having abandoned their core principles.
Like Patricia McKenna, I urge the Green Party to reclaim some of their former integrity by collapsing the present Fianna Fail dominated government. If they insist in proping up this government for the next three years they will be responsible for enormous damage to the Ireland and to the Irish people.
If this happens, there will be an urgent need to establish a new environmentally based movement in Ireland.
The damage that has been done by the Green Party's complicity in this most corrupt of Irish governments is huge.
The people of Ireland should tell thim so on the ballot papers on Friday.
Fighting truth decay in Ireland is getting very though these days. All the best with your Campaign Patricia and we hope you get elected, you deserve it. Great to see People of principle are still around rock on Ed.
Just in case some may think my intervention at the Green Party press conference was vindictive or attempted point scoring, this was not the case. Most of the current and past Green Party members are serious and sincere people - the purpose behind my intervention was to achieve some accountability for very wrong actions and decisions taken by the Green Party leadership since they went into Government with Fianna Fail.
As citizens we all have a duty to make our politicians accountable. Challenging them in public and in private is one way of doing this. If my actions cost the Greens votes in tomorrow's elections, then that is a form of accountability, that is valid and justifiable. Of course Fianna Fail must be held accountable even more so, because they bear the primary responsibility for Irish complicity in the unlawful Iraq and Afghan wars and the torture rendition programme. In March 2003 my High Court case against the Fianna Fail led Irish Government achieved a small degree of accountability and challenged their wrongdoings.
If a lot more of Ireland's 4 million citizens took similar steps to demand accountabilty from our politicians then a lot less abuse and corruption would be perpetrated.
Coincidentially, another CIA associated aircraft N71PG owned by Pheonix Air, was refuelled at Shannon yesterday, and took off for the United States a few hours before my Green Party intervention.
Our Shannonwatch records show that this plane has been to Shannon on numerous occasions and to Guantanamo on several occasions including 10 April 2008 and on 8 December 2007 (having been refuelled at Shannon on 3 December 2007).
Please help us to achieve some accountability for Irish complicity in the deaths of up to one million people (including over 200,000 children) in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Irish complicity in the US torture rendition programme.
It's great to see people of integrity in Irish public life. The people will one day awake, and it might be sooner than we think.
