The writs for the Dublin Central and the Galway West bye-elections have been moved in the D\u00e1il.<\/p>\n
Fine Gael’s Emer Currie moved the Dublin Central writ for the bye-election to fill the vacancy created by the departure of former minister for finance Paschal Donohoe.<\/p>\n
The second vacancy in Galway West arises from Catherine Connolly’s election as President of Ireland last year.<\/p>\n
After moving the writ for Galway West, People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett said “get the posters up”.<\/p>\n
