Taoiseach Simon Harris says that there have been no decisions made about when to hold Dáil by-elections, as a total of four TDs are bound for the European Parliament.

Following the European Parliament elections last week, Sinn Féin’s Kathleen Funchion, Labour’s Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, Fianna Fáil’s Barry Cowen, and Independent Michael McNamara are heading to Brussels in the weeks ahead.
