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 leads trader consensus at 75.5% implied probability to win the Dublin Central Dáil by-election on May 22, reflecting his strong local profile as a North Strand native and former footballer, bolstered by party colleague Gary Gannon's incumbency in the left-leaning four-seat constituency vacated by Fine Gael's Paschal Donohoe. Recent canvassing and a May 3 RTÉ debate on cost of living, housing standards, and community safety have amplified Ennis's appeal amid positive doorstep feedback, positioning him ahead of Sinn Féin's Janice Boylan (15%), who leverages Mary Lou McDonald's base but trails in bookmakers' odds. Fine Gael Lord Mayor Ray McAdam (5.3%) struggles to retain the government seat, while independent Gerry Hutch's (4.7%) anti-establishment bid faces criminal associations; left-wing transfer pacts and low turnout risks loom as key variables.
