actor Mark Ruffalo took part in a webinar to convince younger members to support the coalition agreement. Many of the Young Greens were against going into government, believing that the social change and action on climate change that they campaigned for could not be delivered in coalition with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. Prominent member Saoirse McHugh, a candidate in the 2019 European elections, 2020 general election and the 2020 Seanad election, resigned from the party upon the Greens entering government with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, parties she believed would damage public enthusiasm for environmentalist policies by pairing them with "socially regressive" policies. Before leaving the party, Saoirse and other prominent members who campaigned against going into government formed the 'Just Transition Greens', an affiliate group within the party with a green left/eco-socialist outlook, who have the objective of moving the party towards policies based on the concept of a "Just Transition". Over the course of 2020, 4 councillors as well as both the leader of the Young Greens and the leader of the Queer Greens would also depart from the party, all citing either bullying within the party or dissatisfaction with the coalition and its policies as the cause. The Young Greens, along with the majority of their branches, and the Queer Greens, fell apart after these resignations. Amongst the resignations were councillors Lorna Bogue and Liam Sinclair, who subsequently formed a new left-wing green party called An Rabharta Glas – Green Left in June 2021. The Trinity Young Greens managed to keep going through this period, however with a much reduced membership, and hosted a handful of activities. A skeleton committee revived the Young Greens in 2022, largely through attending activities with the support the Federation of Young European Greens, the European Green Party's youth wing. In January 2023, the Young Greens held their annual Convention, elected a new national executive committee and fully revived the group.
