Clare’s Green Party Senator is confident the coalition won’t collapse after the suspension of two TD’s.

Green Party TD’s Neasa Hourigan and Patrick Costello lost the party whip last night after voting against the Government to back a non-binding Sinn Fein motion calling for the National Maternity Hospital to be built on public land.

Inagh Senator Róisín Garvey has been telling Clare FM’s Rebecca O’Sullivan that the decision was not an easy one, but was necessary.
