Green Party TDs and Senators have deferred a motion of no confidence in party chairperson Hazel Chu.
It was brought by three Senators after the Dublin Lord Mayor launched a bid for the Seanad as an independent.
Pippa Hackett, Pauline O'Reilly and Roisin Garvey disagreed with how she went about it, after the party executive had decided not to run a candidate.
