The statement's being made by the Rural Independents.
The Green party should be banished from office and the country.
The Rural Independents say some of the Green's policies are based on hypocrisy and madness, and are 'ripping the heart and soul out of rural Ireland'.
The group is pointing out that thousands of tonnes of wood chips are being imported from Brazil to power the Bord na Mona plant in Edenderry, after peat harvesting was banned.
Independent TD Mattie McGrath says the coalition Government is destroying jobs and damaging the environment:
A Rural Independent TD's comments about the Green Party are "irresponsible" and "offensive".
Those are the words of one of their Councillors in Westmeath.
Hazel Smyth says there's nobody else making decisions for the environment:
