The leaders of the Young Greens and Queer Greens have resigned from their positions and left the party claiming they have been left "dismayed" by the party's decisions in government.

In the latest blow to the Green Party, chair of the Queer Greens Tiernan Mason and chair of the Young Greens Tara Gilsenan wrote to elected representatives outlining the reasons for their resignations.
