category national | environment | other press author Friday February 12, 2010 10:25author by Peter Sutherland's Nemesis Report this post to the editors

@ Friday, 12 February 2010- 9:47am: "Déirdre de Búrca has announced that she has resigned from the Green Party and Seanad Éireann."

From: http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0212/deburcab.html

[What a laugh, hee hee. What a week for the Muppets! First George (RTE chief economist who had no idea how political parties work!). And now the erstwhile "Left"-looking current Deirdre The Hypocrite deBurca resigns. There's rumours around Buswells that she's realised "capitalism IS the problem and she's joined Eirigi” ... ah no only messing! But I wonder will the bourgeoisie "responsible party of government in waiting" softly softly Labour Party have her?

De Búrca resigns from Greens, Seanad
Friday, 12 February 2010 09:47

Déirdre de Búrca has announced that she has resigned from the Green Party and Seanad Éireann.

Her resignation is with immediate effect.

In a letter of resignation to Green Party leader John Gormley, Ms de Búrca says she 'can no longer support the Green Party in government, as I believe that we have gradually abandoned our political values and our integrity and in many respects have become no more than an extension of the Fianna Fáil party'.

Read the Ms de Búrca's letter

She claims Fianna Fáil is 'running rings' around the Green Party and continues to take advantage of its inexperience

In the letter she says the Green Party has been 'paralysed' by the rejection of several candidates in the local and European elections last year.

Ms de Búrca stood in the European parliament elections in the Dublin constituency but failed in her bid to get elected.

In the letter Ms de Búrca says she has lost confidence in Mr Gormley. She adds that in his role as leader, he has done a disservice to the party and its members by allowing a 'drift' to occur.

A spokesman for Mr Gormley described Ms de Búrca's decision as disappointing.

He said Green parliamentary party members would meet during the morning to consider the development and the party will respond in due course.

Green Party TD Ciarán Cuffe wished Ms de Búrca well via his Twitter page saying that she 'has been a great campaigner'.
