Rabharta[3][4] (Irish: [ˈɾˠəuɾˠt̪ˠə], lit.'spring tide/wave'),[2][5][6] previously An Rabharta Glas – Green Left, is a minor Irish political party,[7] launched on 5 June 2021 as a split from the Green Party. At launch, it had two councillors, who had previously been elected as Green Party members — Lorna Bogue, on Cork City Council, and Liam Sinclair, on South Dublin County Council. As of June 2024, it has no elected representation. Its outlook has been described as "eco-socialist".[1]
