On 22 July 2020, Hourigan was amongst several prominent members of the Green Party who formed the “Just Transition Greens”, an affiliate group within the party with a green left/eco-socialist outlook, who have the objective of pressuring the party towards more hardline policies based on the concept of a Just Transition.
Neasa Hourigan resigned on July 30, 2020, as party whip of the Green Party, but did not leave the party after voting against the Government twice on amendments to the Residential Tenancies Bill. She was later sanctioned by party leader Eamon Ry an by having her speaking rights withdrawn for two months.
In December 2020 Hourigan, alongside fellow Green TD Patrick Costello, spoke out against the entry of Ireland into the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), a trade agreement between Canada and members of the EU, due to fears about the proposed “Investment court system”. The investment court system is designed to act as a method of solving business disputes between investors and participating countries.
Neasa Hourigan and Costello argued that the court system would allow Canadians investing in Ireland to sue the state if the state impeded their profits, such as with environmentalist laws, and this was a major threat to Ireland’s sovereignty.
On 17 May 2022 Costello and Hourigan were both suspended from the Green Party for six months after they voted against the government on a motion calling for the new National Maternity Hospital to be built on land wholly owned by the state.
On 7 March 2023, Neasa Hourigan criticized the government for its decision to end the eviction ban, calling the decision “heartless”. Hourigan also spoke out against Green Party leader Eamon Ryan, saying that he did not speak to the party’s policies. Senator and Green Party Chair Pauline O’Reilly rebuked Hourigan’s remarks and said that it was “clear Neasa didn’t have all the facts”.
