Constituency profile: Dublin Bay South

Fine Gael and Labour dominated the then Dublin South East constituency in 2011, winning a massive 60.9% of all first-preference votes and evenly sharing all four seats in the process.

However, five years and an area name-change later, the coalition control is far less secure.

The newcomer to the field in 2011, Fine Gael’s Eoghan Murphy, is likely to improve on his third-place position by comfortably topping the poll, with a recent opinion poll suggesting the bank inquiry member could get 20% of first preferences.
