Bacik entry into by-election race takes fight to FG
The by-election, caused by the death of Independent TD Tony Gregory, will be held on June 5 in tandem with another by-election in Dublin South and the local and European elections.
Fine Gael Senator Paschal Donohoe is considered the favourite for Dublin Central, having performed strongly at the last general election in 2007 and has built on his profile since then.
