The Green Party's leader, Roderic O’Gorman, predicts a drastic reduction from 12 seats to just two or three in the upcoming 34th Dáil election. O’Gorman acknowledged the party's poor performance and expressed concern for his colleagues who might lose their seats.
The Green Party is facing the possibility of total wipeout across the country with leader Roderic O’Gorman suggesting it may have just two seats in the 34th Dáil.
“We’re in the fight in a couple of places, including here in Dublin West. I’m fifth now on the tallies in a five seater,” he said. “I’m narrowly ahead but ahead for the fifth seat. In a number of constituencies, we’ll be in contention for the final seat. “But it is hard for a smaller party in government. That’s long been the tradition, the history in Ireland. We hoped going into the election we’d buck that, but we haven’t been able to buck that today.
In Dun Laoghaire, Ossian Smyth is fighting for his seat but trailing behind two Fine Gael candidates, Fianna Fáil, People Before Profit and Sinn Féin in the four-seater constituency. Marc Ó Cathasaigh is also likely to lose his seat, winning just 3% of first preference votes in Waterford. Brian Leddin is also expected to lose his seat in Limerick City.
