Hazel Chu, the former lord mayor of Dublin, will contest the upcoming Seanad by-election.

Ms Chu, who recently stood down as the chairwoman of the Green Party, is hoping to take the seat vacated on the Trinity College panel of the Seanad by Labour's Ivana Bacik after her victory in the Dublin Bay South Dáil by-election last year. Ms Chu had run for the Green Party nomination in that election but was beaten in a constituency election by councillor Claire Byrne.
