Ms Martin withdrawing her name from the running via a social media post well and truly scuppered that prediction. However, there were still some in the party expecting a contested leadership race with names emerging on Wednesday.Should it go ahead it is presumed that Mr O’Gorman, who has the busy Children and Integration ministerial brief, will be one of the candidates as the most senior Cabinet Minister who has not ruled themselves out.
In terms of who might run in the general election in a bid to retain Mr Ryan’s seat in Dublin Bay South there are at least three potential candidates – councillors Claire Byrne, Hazel Chu and Carolyn Moore.Ms Byrne, Mr Ryan’s parliamentary assistant, was the party’s candidate in the 2021 byelection in the constituency in 2021.
Ms Chu, a high-profile lord mayor of Dublin, had contested the Green Party’s selection convention ahead of the byelection but lost out to Ms Byrne.
