It’s official. Catherine Connolly is our new Uachtarán na hÉireann, with a truly resounding victory in a campaign that has brought hope and unity to the fore once again. We would like to sincerely congratulate Catherine on her success, having stood proudly alongside her as the candidate who has continued to keep climate and nature on the agenda. Catherine’s election truly represents a watershed moment for successful collaboration on the left in Irish politics. Let’s keep the momentum going and build a durable movement for change.

The Newborn Baby Grant will be paid today to over 4,400 families, a direct €280 baby boost payment to help with the costs of parenthood. This is a key Green Party initiative that @rodericogorman fought for inclusion in Budget 2025. thejournal.ie/over-4400-fami… #GreensDeliver

We end this term of government with an undeniably strong record. We’ve broken the tradition of smaller parties being overwhelmed by the agendas of the larger parties in a coalition. Our message today is simple: stick with us and we’ll continue to deliver. #GreensDeliver #GE24
