Fine Gael nominations for Dublin Bay South by-election to open on Tuesday

Sources within the party have surmised that Fine Gael's quick process may be due to a possible intention to call the election sooner rather than later, with August mooted as a possibility.

Fine Gael nominations for the Dublin Bay South by-election will open tomorrow and close next Monday.

A postal ballot will be held among members in the constituency to select the candidate by the end of May.
