Criticism of the government is "jumped on and stamped down" by internal Green Party "enforcers", a TD has claimed. Members of the Green Party take on roles of “enforcer" according to TD Neasa Hourigan. She was speaking on the Independent.ie Floating Voter podcast about Cllr Peter Kavanagh’s statements after he left the party this week, where he stated that criticism of the party by members is viewed as “betrayal”. “That doesn’t lead to an atmosphere within the party that’s nice, that’s a nice place to be.”She said that criticism is sometimes “jumped on”. “The enforcer mentality - any criticism has to be jumped on and stamped down immediately, for sure,” she said.
