Sinn Féin spokesperson on Enterprise, Trade, Employment and Workers’ Rights, Louise O’Reilly TD, has said the Green Party’s attempts to blame their CETA u-turn on Brexit are ‘pathetic’.
Her comments follow media reports that Green Party ministers have told a meeting of members that the party must back the controversial trade deal despite opposing it in opposition, due to the imminent challenges of Brexit.
Teachta O’Reilly said:
“This is pathetic stuff from the Greens. Throughout their time in government they have gradually cast aside all of their principles as they cling to power in the coalition.
