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 strongly favors Social Democrats councillor Daniel Ennis at 76% implied probability to win the Dublin Central Dáil by-election on May 22, driven by reports of enthusiastic door-to-door reception in late March and early simulations projecting his victory amid low expected turnout favoring organized local campaigns. Fianna Fáil's recent selection of Deputy Lord Mayor John Stephens last week has boosted him to second place, reflecting party efforts to reclaim the long-elusive seat, while Sinn Féin's Janice Boylan lags in Mary Lou McDonald's home constituency amid post-2024 setbacks. Independent Gerry Hutch remains marginalized after a February poll showed two-thirds rejection; bookmaker odds align closely, underscoring Ennis's grassroots edge in this fragmented field triggered by Paschal Donohoe's resignation.
