A SPLIT has emerged in Limerick’s Green Party over its handling of a key road project, with the resignation of its standard-bearer in the county.
Claire Keating, who amassed almost 2,700 votes in the general election in rural Limerick 12 months ago has resigned after feeling the party faithful did not listen to her warnings over the Coonagh to Knockalisheen Road.
The Croagh woman – well known in the city for her work with Limerick Against Pollution – tended her resignation in a letter to the party’s executive on Tuesday, writing: “The Green Party’s principles are at odds with my own.”
