The Green Party in Northern Ireland originated in the early 1980s, partly as a result of the Green Movement which was sweeping across Western Europe and partly because of the massive anti-nuclear movement which gripped the country at that time. Through the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and other organisations people protested against the proposal to build a nuclear power station on Carnsore Point. Like its counterpart in the Republic and also in Britain, the Party in Northern Ireland first stood under the name Ecology Party.

  • The Green Party in Northern Ireland originated in the early 1980s, partly as a result of the Green Movement which was sweeping across Western Europe and partly because of the massive anti-nuclear movement which gripped the country at that time. Through the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and other organisations people protested against the proposal to build a nuclear power station on Carnsore Point. Like its counterpart in the Republic and also in Britain, the Party in Northern Ireland first stood under the name Ecology Party. In the May 1981 local council elections, Peter Emerson, Avril McCandless and Malcolm Samuels stood as the first candidates to use the Ecology label in Northern Ireland and gain 233, 81 and 61 votes respectively, the first in a large urban, the other two in smaller rural constituencies. in May 1983 The Northern Ireland Ecology Party is launched at a press conference held in the Europa Hotel, Belfast with members of Comhaontas Glas and the UK Greens in attendance. At the same time, the three parties put forward the one combined policy on Northern Ireland, the first time that a political movement in these islands has held a common Northern Ireland policy. In 1985 Ecology Parties throughout Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Wales & Scotland change their name to Green Party. The Green Party in Northern Ireland now operates as a region of the Irish Green Party, with links with the Scottish Green Party and the Green Party of England and Wales. The party currently holds one seat in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
