Dear Green Party Member

We’re delighted to be bringing our 2020 convention to Donegal, especially since the recent general election showed a surge in support for us in the county. Due to the current situation regarding Covid-19, we have postponed convention to October 3-4.

This year's Green Party Convention will take place in the family owned Mount Errigal Hotel, Letterkenny surrounded by the beautiful hills of Donegal. An evening social featuring local trad musicians will take place on October 2.

As an all-Ireland party, we’ve seen growth across every constituency over the past year and we’re looking forward to bringing everyone to such a beautiful location. We’re anticipating a weekend full of exciting plans and proposals.

The party’s support on the ground has increased across the country, from the Green Wave in the locals and Europeans, to our biggest result yet in a general election, and we want to build on the great work being done at a local level by bringing everyone together in Letterkenny. We will have to rebuild the country following several months dealing with the outbreak and we hope, that by October, we can deal with our party business and topics that our members wish to discuss.

Our recently elected 12 TDs, 49 elected councillors, 2 MEPs and 1 Senator will share their vision for the party, their respective areas and representation in Europe. We welcome members of the Green Party to two days packed with panel discussionsand workshops.

Most importantly - members will have ample time to meet, catch up and share a drink after a busy few months of campaigning. Our annual Gala dinner brought a surprise guest last year so who knows who might appear this year. If you want to attend, please reserve your ticket for the gala dinner as well as the lunch, while reserving your convention ticket here.

We have secured special rooms rates throughout Letterkenny. You can view options and contact details on the accommodation page.

PLEASE ENSURE YOU USE FREE CANCELLATION OPTION WHEN BOOKING CONVENTION ACCOMMODATION.

IF YOU ALREADY BOOKED FOR THE ORIGINAL DATE IN JUNE, PLEASE CALL THE HOTEL OR BNB AND MOVE YOUR BOOKING TO OCTOBER 2-4.

We have listed all available transport options for those of you who would like to sit back and relax while viewing the stunning scenery along the way.
