Northern Ireland Greens join the campaign trail in Glasgow
Mal O’Hara, the leader of the Green Party of Northern Ireland will be joining Scottish Green Co-leader Ross Greer this afternoon in Glasgow to show his support for efforts to secure a record number of Green MSPs on May 7th.
Mal, who will be joined by a team of Northern Irish Green councillors, has been leader of the Green Party Northern Ireland since August 2022.
Green Party Northern Ireland leader, Mal O’Hara said:
“I’m delighted to join the Scottish Greens campaigning in Glasgow and Edinburgh this weekend.
“Across the UK, Green parties are surging. Record polling and record memberships because we are offering a clear message of hope which is clearly resonating with people.”
“Whether in Belfast, Dublin, Cardiff, London, Edinburgh or Glasgow - only the Greens represent that ambitious vision and our interconnected relationships on these islands.
“While we are distinct parties, we are united by shared values and priorities - lowering bills, facing down the far right, fighting the climate crisis and ending inequality. Let’s demand better.”
Scottish Green Co-leader Ross Greer said:
“Its great to have Mal and his team join us in Scotland this weekend. I am proud to be part of a movement that is growing across these islands and beyond.
“Mal’s leadership has been crucial to growing the Green Party in Northern Ireland. We are keen to learn from that and work with him to deliver record Green results across our nations.
“Every vote for the Scottish Greens is a vote to demand better for Scotland and to deliver bold and urgent action to tackle the cost of living crisis, including free bus travel for all and the biggest expansion of free childcare for a generation.
“I’m looking forward to campaigning with Mal and to returning the favour next year by heading to Northern Ireland to help them to secure a record result in the next Stormont elections.”
