Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The Taoiseach's reply is much more ambivalent. My question is simple. The period of time within which the writ can be moved for the holding of that by-election on 5 June is very narrow. There is a short timeframe. Will the Government proceed on that basis? Will the by-election for Dublin South be on 5 June? While answering that, the Taoiseach can tell us the Government's intention with regard to the Dublin Central by-election.
