"Paschal Donohoe will be a no-show for the Fine Gael campaign to retain his seat in the Dublin Central by-election, leaving his old party without the former finance minister to lean on as it battles to maintain Dáil representation in the constituency."
"The seat - held for more than a decade by the now-managing director of the World Bank - will be up for grabs in late May, with Lord Mayor Ray McAdam, of Fine Gael, set to contest the by-election."
Paschal Donohoe, the former finance minister and long-time holder of the Dublin Central Dáil seat, will not campaign for Fine Gael in the upcoming by-election scheduled for late May. Donohoe now serves as managing director of the World Bank, leaving Fine Gael without his support as the party attempts to retain representation in the constituency. Lord Mayor Ray McAdam will represent Fine Gael in the contest, facing competition from other candidates including Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch. The seat has been held by Fine Gael for over a decade through Donohoe's tenure.
