Former Green Party Leader Speaks
In this exlusive interview with the attack.ie media blog former leader of the Green Party Trevor Sargent faces tough questions over Shannon, Rossport and entering government with Fianna Fail.
Following the wealth of criticism the Green's received from the left in the wake of their pact with Fianna Fail, Trevor Sargent here tries to explain the reasoning behind entering government and what the future might hold for his party.
Trevor attempts to reassert his support for ShellToSea explaining his hands are now tied by constitutional power and also suggests that the US military will ultimately leave Shannon.
When asked about criticism from the left, most of which came from Indymedia, Trevor said it was fair comment but challenged his detractors to match the Green's electoral success.
A full 45minute streamed version of the interview will be made available at http://www.attack.ie
