The leader of the Northern Greens along with the chairperson of the party have added their names to those calling for a no vote in the ballot on entering government with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.
Clare Bailey MLA and Dublin City Councillor Hazel Chu issued a statement along with various TDs strongly criticising the programme for government which they say represents “an unjust recovery”.
Green party members have until Friday to decide on whether to enter coalition with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

A schism between the leaderships of the Northern and Southern wings of the all-island party comes as the parliamentary party remains split on the deal, with Ms Bailey and Ms Chu now publicly opposing it.
In a statement, they say the deal fails to deliver on homelessness and better healthcare, adding that is also charts an “inadequate and vague pathway” on climate action.
The results of all three party votes will be announced on Friday.
