Minister Richard Bruton has appealed to Green Party members to back the proposed coalition deal saying it will put Ireland in the "vanguard" of countries when it comes to battling climate change. Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Green Party members are this week voting on the proposed government deal. Two-thirds of Green Party members must approve the deal for the government to be formed - the highest bar of any of the parties. He said this approach would be embedded in law for the roll-out of climate action. Almost 200 Green Party members in the North are eligible to vote on the government deal here.
