Elected Leader

Roderic O'Gorman

Leadership elections occurred in Ireland's Green Party in July 2024, after Eamon Ryan announced his intention to resign as party leader. Ryan, who had led the party since 2011, announced his resignation on 18 June 2024. Following the announcement, deputy leader Catherine Martin announced she would be stepping down as deputy leader, triggering a deputy leadership election.

The election was held online over three days. Roderic O'Gorman won the election and became leader of the party on 8 July 2024.[1] Of the 3,425 votes available, O'Gorman received 984 votes, while Hackett received 912.[2]

The party's deputy leadership election was held on 14 July 2024,[3] and was subsequently won by Róisín Garvey.[4]
