Eamon Ryan stepping down: What next for the Greens? | Newstalk

- Philip Ryan, Political Editor of the Irish Independent joins Pat Kenny as they react to the news that Eamon Ryan is stepping down as the leader of the Green Party.
Eamon Ryan has confirmed that he is stepping down as Green Party leader.
Minister Ryan said he was leaving his role to “pass the torch to a new generation of leaders, confident in the strength and values I have seen built up in our party over all these years”.
He said he would not be standing for re-election to the Dáil.
He will remain in his role as leader and minister until a new party leader is elected - and will spend the remaining months of this Government in “whatever new role” the next party leader chooses for him.
"Sustainable and secure"
Minister Ryan said he was extremely proud of what the Green Party has achieved in Government - noting that he has helped “set the country on a course to a more sustainable and secure future”.
“Social integration is integral to green politics,” he said.
“Investing in public transport and safe streets helps the disadvantaged the most.
“Relying on our own renewable energy keeps money in our country and creates good jobs that last.
“Paying to restore nature will help marginal farming systems most of all.
“This is the best for rural as well as urban Ireland.”
Minister Ryan said his biggest regret is that under his watch, “a narrative has taken hold that we are not concerned about rural Ireland, that solutions are costing people and that we are not connected to the man and woman on the street.”
He said none of that is true and warned that divisive politics will not work if we are to see “the scale and speed of change that has to be made”.
"Our motivation comes from a love of creation and our place within it,” he said.
“We seek benefits for every place and every community in the transition we need to make.”
Social media
He said convincing people of the party’s vision has not been easy “because we've also been the subject of a relentless attack, particularly on social media”.
“It seems, at times, that we are subject to coordinated attacks in the comments section, following any posts we made,” he said.
“I decided to ignore the worst comments even when it included vile statements about my own recently deceased father some five years ago.
“But the level of invective has only increased, especially in the last year, and I think it poisons the well of public thinking about our agenda and not just our party.
“That's one of the reasons why it's so important that we cherish and build strong, impartial and independent media and that we put the future funding in place so that people can trust that they're getting accurate information on what is happening in our world.
“You could despair about the future of our democracy if you were just to live in that algorithm-driven, polarising online world; however, I am so hopeful about what is to come next.”
New generation
He said he spent the last few days talking to the candidates who put themselves forward for the Green Party in the recent elections and was inspired by their continued determination to serve the public.
“In leaving my leadership role, I will be asking a new generation of young people to take up this honourable public role by joining our party and joining us in meeting and listening to the public when the next election comes, as well as making our case,” he said.
Minister Ryan said he will continue to work on climate action - but cannot continue to work the long hours that being a public representative involves.
Career
Eamon Ryan has served as a councillor, TD and Minister during his 30-year career.
He has led the Green Party since 2011.

Michael Martin’s turn now ! 😂
🤞
@@lorraineduffy4310 nope Micheal Martin has no dissent and no opposition. MIcheal Mcgrath is off to the Eu
He won't jump he will be pushed
Where’s your humanity
I suppose he will console himself with a huge pension 😮
Several pensions - both 'official' and 'unofficial' (the kind found in a brown envelope).
@@Jen-lg4hp Do you have som eevidence of that? Because if you don't, that would make you a liar or a fool.
Whats your point Robert?😂
Rats are running for cover..
Wrong
Plenty more rats to take over
@@rosk.wilburn5847 Absolutely correct.
The whole government had a very bad election only half voted. And the migrants issue will cause civil unrest accross the country. I have had
Treathening letters from rte, even though the licence is only out of date a short while, and the gardai used as a private security company, not even used to protect the Irish people but to heavy hand Irish people who are correctly terrified in their own small areas where they never see the gardai, but are being forced to live alongside thousands of migrants who are not vetted and nobody knows even who they are or where they are from. I my area normal people are openly talking about revelution,
People I would never have expected to say such things.
This country is coming apart at the seams.
Yes exactly it certainly is we are a laughing stock to the world
Absolutely 💯 people want to take up arms where I am.
Now ... we just need to get rid of RTÉ
And Newstalk
What age are you?
@@rosk.wilburn5847 Why do you care? .... you're not even Irish/European.
Rats leaving the Ship comes to mind.
what achievements, higher taxes?
He had plenty of achievements he generally achieved what he wanted to achieve ,they are not we would consider achievements but for is own agenda he achieved quite alot unfortunately for ireland
@@Joseph13163 Wow,all thehalfwits in Ireland must be in this comments section.
Best politician we had 😢😢@@Joseph13163
Mudhut😂😂😂 what have you done in the last 4 years?
@@rosk.wilburn5847 perhaps in fact he built some mudhuts? they are more sustainable, better for environment AND cheaper for the people than whatever delusional greens are dreaming of
No loss shut the door behind you, what an absolute clown he is🤢
Try that again
Shut up
They're getting off waaay too lightly if you ask me
If the migration issues cause a civil war in Ireland then all state pensions to politicians must be stopped.
Never forget the damage they've done to our beautiful country.
What damage?
Clown@@jameshenry6855
@@jameshenry6855 The whole green agenda!!! No one in their right mind voted for them!

The cycle lanes around Dublin and the green ways is it?
He can have more naps at home now instead of the Dial
I heard he's going to work as a volunteer with dyslexics
Great news for us all get out and stay out, that party will never be in government again
into the recycling bins the greens shall go
Black bin would be better, just get dumped, no regurgitation
Rats jumping from the sinking ship
Yep, and probably to a plumb EU job with all the perks...
No one would even know he was gone,and there all stepping down because they have been promised jobs in Europe for ruining this country,but the people are to blame as they voted them all back in again.
People may have voted them back in but all the economic migrants being allowed to vote including Ukrainians didn't help either
@@margaretmorrissey4540 Haha! That's one of the worst excuses for right-wing failure in the elections that I've ever heard!! 🤣🤣
irelands most hated bar one roderic o gorman
I would say mack in tee
Well said. Absolute rag of a man.
Worst presenter interview the worst politician between them don't give a fxxk for the people of Ireland
True story
Great day for the Parish.
Try that again
Very long overdue, the writing’s on the wall for the Greens. This is their only possible hope. Great question about Martin. Neither Martin nor O’ Gorman have been solid ministers. They need a more radical change.
Possibly Humphreys was the best of a bad lot???? Any opinions?
Eamon destroyed the Greens twice in one career
But we have LEDs everywhere, blinding as they are. And don't forget the plastic bollards and the coming black outs
@@prestigeworldwide5047 He seriously lauded the idea on main stream media, of transitioning to those new Diesel cars saying they were modern GREEN choice , just because the had a higher MPG to old Petrol ones, what he didn't really think about was the Science was telling us, of what was coming out the Tail Pipes the likes of those ubiquitous Sub Micron Particulates PM 10 and PM 2.5 being liberated for a pastime and of course those oxides of Nitrogen [NOX] , one couldn't make it up.
I couldn't even begin to imagine what's NEST for the greens!

Great news
This government is like a hydra one goes another take it's place and not for the better
Miserable Cabbage has gone.
Happy Days
The game is up. people are waking up to this waffle that delivers nothing only misery and taxes.
He can pass his time setting lettuce plants on his south facing windows 😅😅
Brilliant he knows what coming. He's not as dense as I thought.
None of them are.. Collect the earnings and exit stage right is par for the course..
An utter buffooon.......he is of no loss
I suppose he'll drive off into the sunset in his diesel car..
The departure of this parliamentarian induces , for me at least, little sense of loss to the nation.
Things are looking up for Ireland with leaky and cabbage head gone😂
Harris is worse than Varadkar, who knows who will replace Ryan. In the end it's the establishment itself that survives regardless of who is in power or leading a party
Nothing is looking up for Ireland right now, the migration issues are collapsing our country, if you can't see where this is going then truly you are blind
@@andrewcooney2387 *housing issue. You had a typo there I think. We had higher migration in 2004 and yet, no problems like today. The thing that got worse was not immigration but more so stagnating construction and services.
@@davidkavanagh189 how come they dont put more construction under way then
Maybe they could all step down or just blend into a field some where
What next for the Greens? Oblivion, hopefully.
What nest for the Greens?
"What NEST for the Greens?", Well done Newstalk.
This Video has only been up a few minutes and the Bots are already swarming the comments 😂
SUV drivers
Yea bots, right
What bots? What comments? Be specific. Unless you're a bot yourself
I aint no Bot. I used to have a liking for sensible green measures. Now I couldn't care less about the environment. He can boast about that if he wishes.
First decent thing he's done.
He will have plenty of time to sleep now
If only a few more would do the same he is some yoke sorry for insulting the yoke 😅😅
Two out of three aint bad, Pat suffering with some amnesia?? We havnt forgotten about the lockdown years dear Pat and what you've said...
Thank the Lord
Not so much stepping down more the Irish pushed him down. We could do this to mehole and psyman in general election and also they stop busding in migrants to voting stations
Great news to hear Eamon is stepping down, he’s done a lot of damage to Ireland,
In fairness to Michael Martin he did help out the tax payer during covid with the cost of livinng. He helped everybody. So credit where credit is due.
He helped by playing along with the Covid narrative and turning us into more of a welfare state
Bad news on that, it was us that were put down as guarantor on the loans.
Well done Eamon...sorry to see you go. 😢
The greens have actually consolidated the gains they have made over the last few decades. It is time for a change but Eamon Ryan was successful for his party and the cause of raising awareness about climate. It’s undeniable. It’s always easy to nit pick anyone’s career in public life.
He should be going to prison. MM and LV should be going with him.
Oblivion hopefully!!
Let’s hope he goes off to “free Palestine” hahaha 😂😂😂😂
How can you say that the greens should never be in government again when the two fiannas are doing such a great job and keep getting voted in when they can not get the 30% of laws they actually have control over even remotely right and not full of loopholes, none of the tired old guard and their extended families should be voted back in.
Give the power and county purses back to the councils and let TDs run the international and country wide side of things.
Mores crows nests id imagine. Some legacy
What's next? Oblivion!
O'Groomer.
He is the worst politician that we have ever had on this island. I can't remember a worse one who done more damage and pushed families into poverty with carbon taxes and so on.
What nest indeed!
Emaon Ryan turning Ireland Green he turned it Black 😴 He supported Palestine Hamas. Let’s hope that some of his green issues will be reversed in the near future
We don't need a green party wat a waste of money
Greens are totally off the wall with their policies
He single handedly reversed global warming!
What a complete waste of space he and the greens were and are.
The best environments decision for ireland in years
You've outlasted a lot of them, Pat 😁
What nest indeed...
Micheal Martin is stepping down now as he no longer can rely upon UN diplomatic immunity..aa the USA prepares to leave the United Nations.
Big difference in stepping down and falling down 😂😂😂bye bye sleepyhead
He will make a new career flying around the world driving here there and everywhere to tell people don’t fly or driver
Greedy Greens 😢
The compost bin? 😂
Roderick O'Gorman for Greens leader? Are you serious? Have you a clue?

Fantastic news he can get a lot of sleep now .
I don't think Pat Kenny isn't bad as everybody makes out to be.
He was during the lockdowns. Himself and that other clown O'Neill.
Bye bye 👋

A sincere individual and a gentleman.
Have you been sniffing glue or is the sarcasm going over my head?
He's a kiddie fiddler.
