Sargent resigns ministry over 'error of judgment'
Green Party junior minister Trevor Sargent has resigned following revelations of his representations to gardaí on behalf of a constituent facing prosecution on a public order charge.
In a brief statement to the House this evening, Mr Sargent said he accepted that "although my actions in contacting An Garda Síochána were not a criminal offence, under Section 6 of the Prosecutions of Offences Act 1974 such a communication could be deemed not lawful.
"In this regard I accept I made an error of judgement. Accordingly I hereby tender my resignation forthwith as Minister of State for Food and Horticulture."

Yet another blunder in what is fast becoming a shambles.Can we really expect this Government to help our current situation when they keep making one error after another,and im certain there is plenty more to come.
Take matters into your own hands.
Dont leave it to chance,dont leave it to the Government.
