Marese Skehan's name to remain on ballot with Tipp vote set to go ahead on Saturday

The vote was thrown into doubt following the death of a candidate.

Update 1.25pm: Tipperary returning officer James Seymour has confirmed that the election in the constituency is going ahead.

The election there had been postponed following the death of independent candidate Marese Skehan earlier this week because of a provision in the 1992 Electoral Act.
