The Green Party has been accused of causing 'chaos and confusion' by an Indenpedent TD.
A midlands junior minister has accused an Independent TD of using Donald Trump's 'Playbook' to win rural voters.
Roscommon Galway Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice is calling for the formation of a new political party to support rural Ireland, and challenge Green Party policies.
But Green Party Junior Agriculture Minister, Offaly's Pippa Hackett, says he's trying to stir up 'anti-environment sentiment for his own narrow electoral gain.'
She says Deputy Fitzmaurice's actions are 'no different to those who peddle division in US politics.'
Senator Hackett says she will 'proudly fight' his 'anti-environment' party at the next election.
She say the Greens are an easy target for criticism, because they're driving change, and nobody likes that.
The Offaly woman says her party has been good to farmers:
