The Green’s executive committee (EC) has not joined a majority of the parliamentary party in calling for Hazel Chu to step aside as party chairwoman during her bid for a Seanad seat.
It has instead ordered a review of how Seanad byelection candidates are selected in the wake of the row over the Dublin Lord Mayor’s run as an independent.
