Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman has admitted he is still facing abuse a year after leaving government, including homophobic slurs at train stations. The Green Party barely survived a political wipeout in the 2024 general election, dropping from 12 TDs to just Mr O’Gorman. He also conceded he is still facing threats and social media abuse. “The first six months, I got mid-level hassle every now and again,” Mr O’Gorman admitted. “I should have been tougher with Government colleagues in terms of them pulling their weight,” Mr O’Gorman said.
