Attempt to fill Anthony Flynn's council seat today set to fail

Anthony Flynn died in August. He was the co-founder and director of Inner City Helping Homeless.

An attempt this evening to fill the Dublin City Council seat held by the late Anthony Flynn with a close friend and colleague of his is likely to fail, the Irish Examiner has learned. 

Over the weekend, an email was circulated from the independent group of councillors putting forward the name of Geraldine Molloy, a senior caseworker with the charity Inner City Helping Homeless (ICHH), which Mr Flynn founded.
