Statement by Deirdre de Burca
Responding to Patricia McKenna's comments today, Green Party European affairs spokesperson, Senator Deirdre de Burca said:
"I am disappointed but not unduly surprised by Patricia McKenna's comments about the Green Party's decision on the EU Lisbon Treaty. The proposal to support a Yes in the forthcoming Lisbon referendum campaign was endorsed by two thirds of Party members after a full and balanced debate.
"Patricia McKenna left the Green Party some time ago. When she made that decision she lost the right to criticise the internal debates and procedures of an organisation to which she no longer belongs. Perhaps it is time for her to move on and concentrate on her own career," Senator de Burca said.
