Green Party Unveils Ambitious Election Manifesto Focused on Climate and Transport
At the launch of its election manifesto, Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman emphasized action over words, unveiling a €10 billion plan to enhance public transport and pledges to build up to 53,000 homes. The manifesto also prioritizes climate action with funding for energy efficiency and public building retrofitting initiatives. While the Greens aim to attract new voters with these promises, their position in a competitive political landscape raises questions about coalition dynamics post-election. As Ireland approaches the General Election, O’Gorman argues that tangible outcomes, not just rhetoric, will define their effectiveness.
