PUBLIC NOT SLEEPWALKING RODERIC, THEY’RE WIDE AWAKE TO THE MASSIVE DAMAGE YOU AND THE GREENS HAVE CAUSED - Tóibín

Aontú Leader Deputy Peadar Tóibín has issued a stinging rebuke following Green Leader Roderic O’Gorman’s’ call on the electorate not to ‘sleepwalk’ into voting for so called populist parties ,saying that the public is wide awake to the colossal damage the Greens have caused while in Government .

Deputy Tóibín says

“It appears that Roderic O’ Gorman is completely oblivious to his and his parties terrible record”

“There is a reason why the Greens were out of office for so long before they were ‘forgiven’ by the public, however given the damage they caused in this incarnation, I doubt we’ll be seeing them in power again any time soon”.

“Let’s remind people of both Roderic O Gorman’s record in office and that of his party”.

“They have absolutely decimated rural communities right across our country. They have been scathing about farmers and high handed and arrogant towards them”.

“Their public transport plan is a shambles; people have missed hospital appointments, missed flights, job interviews and work because of the many ‘ghost’ buses that simply don’t turn up”.

“The Greens have insisted on jacking up fuel prices through punitive Carbon taxes and tolls have increased right around the country. These are stealth charges and are really hurting people”.

“They are not incentivising people to use public transport; if it was available and fit for purpose people would use it, but the Greens shambolic handling of public transport is sadly preventing people from getting on board with public transport and forcing them to stay in their cars”.

 “They have created absolute chaos around immigration. They have affected compassion, but instead have given human beings tents to sleep on the cold, wet ground. They placed people in isolated areas with absolutely no services. That is not compassion. They have destroyed trust with both genuine people seeking refuge and local communities, and have done a terrible injustice to both”

“They have enriched private accommodation providers, raiding the public purse and have had the cheek to try and ostracise communities who just wanted answers to reasonable questions. They did that in a cynical bid to divert from their own gross ineptitude”.

“Poor and vulnerable little children have died  ,been placed in unregulated care centres or gone missing while in state care under Roderick O’Gorman’s tenure. These unfortunate children were not kept safe, and this is a damming indictment”.

So, it is a bit rich of Roderic O’ Gorman to come out and try and tell voters what to do.

“I know he would wish they were asleep but instead they’re wide awake to his shameful record”

“If he is suggesting people are voting against the Greens for any other reason than their calamitous record in government, you are dead wrong. We have the plan, the team and the support to address the genuine concerns of voters, and we are confident they will make the right choice on Friday”.

“The only person asleep to his failings is Roderic O' Gorman himself “

The Irish political system is radically broken



In Ireland the vast majority of elected representatives put a finger in the air to check which way the political wind is blowing. They have one eye on their leaders – seeking brownie points – and another eye keeping their seat safe. If elected reps shut up and do as they’re told, they are promoted; if they stand up for what they believe in, they are demoted. No wonder we have the political class we have. No wonder one point one billion euro is being buried in a hole under the National Children’s Hospital and that Stormont is in stalemate.



Throughout Ireland, many people are now afraid to say what they feel, many are afraid to respectfully engage on a range of different topics. Many feel there is a new censorship and a new political correctness in Ireland, that opposition to the establishment is being deleted.



Respectful opposition is not the enemy. Respectful opposition is a critical element of a functional democracy. Aontú will have the backbone to stand up, without fear, for you.
