The Green Party would be willing to go into Government with Sinn Féin after the next election, Eamon Ryan has told The Pat Kenny Show. Minister Ryan said his party “cannot afford to pick and choose who we go into government with”, considering the scale of the climate emergency. The Green Party leader also said he would favour an election date early in 2025. Asked whether he had any reservations about one day working with Sinn Féin in Government, Minister Ryan said: “Our world is burning. It is an absolute crisis, an emergency.” “This is the decade of change to try and stop that,” he said. “We cannot afford to pick and choose who we go into government with.” “We need to involve everyone in the decarbonisation of our society – to be part of our part of the solution.” Asked to confirm whether he would be “happy to coalesce with them in some form”, he simply answered: “Yes”. ___________________________________________________________________________ 📱 Have you downloaded the Newstalk app? - Find the app in the Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thisisaim.newstalk&hl=en_IE&gl=US - Find the app via Apple: https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/newstalk-106-108-fm/id372643826 #️⃣ SUBSCRIBE to the Newstalk social channels: - YOUTUBE | null - TWITTER | twitter.com/newstalkfm - INSTAGRAM | instagram.com/newstalkfm/ - FACEBOOK | facebook.com/newstalkfm - WEBSITE | https://www.newstalk.com/ 🎧 PODCAST - listen at your leisure: newstalk.com/podcasts - iTunes: search for Newstalk in your app! - Spotify: search for Newstalk for our latest pods and news - Or wherever you get your podcasts! 📱GET IN TOUCH WITH NEWSTALK - WhatsApp: get in touch on 0871400106
