What happened to the Green Party in the 2024 Irish General Election
The Irish Green Party suffered significant losses in the 2024 elections, losing both of its European Parliament seats and over half of its local council positions. Voter dissatisfaction, particularly in rural areas opposed to the party’s environmental policies targeting agricultural emissions, played a key role. Additionally, the party's participation in a coalition government with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael likely alienated some supporters who prefer the Greens as an opposition force. Longtime leader Eamon Ryan resigned in June, with Roderic O'Gorman taking over, but the leadership change did not reverse their declining popularity. These setbacks reflect the ongoing challenge for smaller parties in balancing policy achievements with voter support.
