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/).Trader consensus heavily favors Social Democrats councillor Daniel Ennis at 76% implied probability to win the Dublin Central Dáil by-election, reflecting recent simulations projecting his victory across scenarios in a crowded, fragmented field. Fianna Fáil's selection of first-time councillor John Stephens as candidate five days ago has positioned him second at 8.5%, buoyed by his recent local election performance, while Sinn Féin's long-time councillor Janice Boylan lags at 7% under scrutiny in this high-stakes May contest near government term midpoint. Controversial independent Gerry Hutch garners 3.5%, risking vote splits on low expected turnout. Bookmaker odds mirror Ennis's dominance, tied to his advocacy on housing reform and poverty amid no formal polls.
