Varadkar: Pivot towards greener politics 'might never have happened' without Eamon Ryan

The pivot towards greener policies in Irish politics in recent years might never have happened if it wasn’t for Eamon Ryan , former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.to make way for “a new generation of leaders”.

“I, for one, am glad that the Greens were in Government with us and are in Government with us for this period. He also took aim at social media during his speech – noting that he has been “the subject of a relentless attack” in recent years. “I see Sinn Féin now suddenly experienced that shift as well over the past few months even though they haven't been in government.“I also got good at just shutting it out, to be honest, and ignoring it, which was probably a good thing.”“The agreement that three parties made four years ago was an agreement of three parties, negotiated by lots of people, not just the party leaders and endorsed democratically by the membership and the public reps of all three parties,” he said.
