Brian Leddin was not formally sanctioned by the Green Party Executive after WhatsApp messages appeared in which he called Elisa O'Donovan "unhinged" and saying she "craved fame". Limerick Cllr Elisa O'Donovan has called for Green Party TD Brian Leddin to resign. Mr Ryan said dignity and respect were not on display in Brian Leddin's exchange. Activist Harper Cleves speaks during a protest by socialist feminist group ROSA outside Green Party offices on Suffolk Street in Dublin, calling for the resignation of Brian Leddin last week.
