But I think the party that will be most disappointed from that poll will be Sinn FΓ©in because their candidate, who was Mark Lohan, was down just around 7%, which they would not have been hoping to see by elections are generally good for opposition and generally for the main opposition.
So Dublin Central then, obviously, Pascal Donoghue having vacated the seat there.
And the initial question being, where does Pascal's vote go?
And Pascal probably drew quite a large personal vote, even outside of traditional Fine Gael gene pool.
that vote stick with his candidate or his successor candidate, Ray McAdam, for Fine Gael, who's quite well known in the constituency as well and a personable guy?
Or will it leak maybe to some more... There are personable guys and women.
I think the big, big story in Dublin Central again is Sinn FΓ©in.
I actually think it'll probably be the big story of the by-elections.
That if they win neither seat... If they win neither seat, they're in trouble.
It starts that chatter again about Mary Lou McDonald.
And we don't have a poll like we have in Galway West to indicate what's happening there yet.
Mary Lou McDonald topped the poll in the general election.
The Sinn FΓ©in candidate is Janice Boylan.
So can Mary Lou's vote, will it migrate to Janice Boylan or will it splinter and go elsewhere?
