About
The Green Party was founded in 1981, initially as the Ecology Party. It became the Green Alliance, or Comhaontas Glas in Irish, in 1983, then the Green Party in 1987 (retaining the same Irish form). The party eschewed having an official leader until 2001, when Trevor Sargent was elected leader.
It has had elected representatives at local, Dáil and European levels, and in 2007 its then six TDs formed part of the coalition government with Fianna Fáil. When the government collapsed in 2011 all sitting Green TDs lost their seats in the subsequent election.
