Green Party votes to join new Ireland government, extend Ahern's 10-year run

DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) - The environmentalist Green Party, radical outsiders
in Irish politics throughout its history, voted Wednesday to join Ireland's
next government and extend Prime Minister Bertie Ahern's 10-year run in
power.
Green leaders won a surprisingly easy ratification for their pact with
Ahern's long-dominant Fianna Fail party following a daylong conference of
party
activists. After reading and debating the 90-page government platform agreed
Tuesday night by both parties' negotiators, the Green grass roots backed the
deal in a lopsided 441-to-67 vote.
=ABIt is the proudest day in my life. After 25 years of struggle ... the
possibility is there to see our policies implemented in government,=BB said
Green leader Trevor Sargent, who also announced he would resign soon as
leader, citing his own campaign pledge not to cooperate with Fianna Fail.
The outcome means Ahern is certain to be re-elected prime minister when
parliament convenes Thursday following a May 24 election. His own party's 78
lawmakers, combined with the Greens' six, will give Ahern a majority in the
166-member chamber.
The landmark deal involved generous concessions by Fianna Fail, which
offered the Greens two Cabinet posts and a raft of promises, including a
carbon tax on polluters and to pursue aggressive targets for reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
While a vociferous minority demanded that the Greens retain their
traditional hostility to Fianna Fail, Ireland's party of the pro-business
establishment, leadership figures won the debate by pointing to the chance
to get at least some Green visions turned into reality.
=ABI never thought I would see a document with Fianna Fail's name on it that
would make real commitments on climate change,=BB said Green lawmaker Ciaran
Cuffe.
Fianna Fail's chief negotiator of the pact, Finance Minister Brian Cowen,
welcomed the Greens' acceptance of a deal that, just a few weeks ago, was
written off by most political analysts as highly unlikely, given policy
conflicts between the two parties.
Even more surprisingly, the agreement is proceeding despite Ahern's
determination to include his long-standing right-wing coalition partners,
the Progressive Democrats, in the next government.
The Progressive Democrats _ whose focus on tax cutting and wooing foreign
investment heavily colored Ahern's past decade in power _ were virtually
wiped out in the May 24 election, retaining just two lawmakers, insufficient
to help Fianna Fail stay in power.
Nonetheless, Ahern has convinced the Greens to share a Cabinet table with
Progressive Democrat leader Mary Harney, whose commitment to encourage
private investment in Ireland's overloaded hospitals is bitterly opposed by
the Greens. Harney is expected to remain health minister when Ahern unveils
his new Cabinet on Thursday.
Giving the Greens a share of power is likely to mean significant policy
shifts in Ireland, which has a poor energy-conservation record and a
car-dependent culture.
Since rising to power in 1997, Ahern has driven a center-right government
that promoted tax breaks for big business, the biggest roads-building
program in Ireland's history and Europe's most sustained property boom. The
so-called Celtic Tiger boom has produced soaring employment, living
standards and immigration _ but also grueling commutes, overloaded schools
and hospitals, and a poorer quality of life for many.
Fianna Fail negotiators said the Greens had secured elements of their agenda
for promoting wind, solar and tidal energy and boosting public transport.
But the compromise pact also required the Greens to stomach many policies
they oppose, including Ahern's willingness to let U.S. troops use Ireland _
an officially neutral nation _ as a major refueling point en route to and
from Iraq.
Fianna Fail _ pronounced =ABFEEN-uh fall=BB and meaning =ABSoldiers of Desti=
ny=BB in
Gaelic _ has won the most seats in parliament in every national election
since 1932, and has led governments following the last five elections dating
back to 1987.
Greens have helped govern five other European countries since the mid-1990s,
most notably Germany, Finland and Sweden, but have never been involved in a
government here before.
