Dublin Central TD, a candidate for deputy leader position, lost whip 15 months ago when voting against Government
Green Party TD Neasa Hourigan has applied to be readmitted to its parliamentary party, 15 months after losing the whip for voting against a Government motion on the eviction ban.
The Dublin Central TD abstained in two Dáil votes in March last year that arose out of a Sinn Féin motion calling for the eviction ban to be extended into 2024. She also voted against the Government’s countermotion.
A third candidate, Ossian Smyth, announced on Monday that he was withdrawing from the race. The two candidates will be involved in hustings this week in advance of the online vote of the party’s 3,425 members.
