Poll shows Sinn Fein-Soc Dem battle for Dublin Central by-election seat

"Janice Boylan of Sinn Féin and Social Democrats candidate Daniel Ennis will be slugging it out for the vacant Dáil seat in the Dublin Central by-election, a poll has revealed."

"The third-placed candidate, gangland figure Gerry Hutch, is likely to be put either Ms Boylan or Mr Ennis over the top on their transfers, when eliminated late on."

Janice Boylan of Sinn Féin and Daniel Ennis of the Social Democrats are competing for the vacant Dáil seat in the Dublin Central by-election. A poll indicates the contest will be decided between these two candidates. Gerry Hutch, who is currently third, is described as a gangland figure. When Gerry Hutch is eliminated late in the count, his votes are expected to transfer to either Ms Boylan or Mr Ennis. The outcome is therefore likely to depend on how those transfers distribute between the leading candidates.
