Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman is the frontrunner to replace Eamon Ryan as Green Party leader, as Media Minister Catherine Martin has ruled herself out.

Mr Ryan announced on Tuesday that he would be stepping down as Green Party leader, saying that it was time to “pass the torch to a new generation of leaders”.
