Green Party deputy leader Catherine Martin has voted in favour of the programme for government being put to her party’s membership. However, her husband Francis Noel Duffy was among a group of party members who abstained on the vote. She said that if the Green Party does enter government "our overriding concern will be with verifiable implementation of our policies." "No member of the Green Party would wish to belong to a government that’s not enthusiastically and realistically delivering a green agenda. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar urged party members to vote for the deal as "the right thing to do for the country".
