A by-election for a seat from the Dublin Central constituency in the Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament, is expected to take place sometime in 2026to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Paschal Donohoe. This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the by-election for this Dublin-Central seat in the Irish Dáil Éireann. If voting does not take place in this election or the election results are not definitively known by March 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting. In case of ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on the official election results published by the Irish government, specifically the Irish parliament or “Oireachtas” (https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/elections/).Social Democrats councillor Daniel Ennis commands trader consensus at 73.5% implied probability to win the Dublin Central by-election on May 22, buoyed by strong local canvassing in a constituency held by party TD Gary Gannon and Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald. Recent official nominations closed April 29, confirming the field including Sinn Féin's Janice Boylan at 12.3% and independent Gerry Hutch—returning from Lanzarote after 3,000 first preferences in the prior general election—at 9.1%, yet failing to erode Ennis's lead amid his reported positive door responses. Left-leaning candidates' calls for transfer pacts underscore the pivotal role of second preferences in this PR-STV contest, with Fine Gael's Ray McAdam and others trailing amid heightened campaigning.
