Jane Matthew's for @TheJournal has a good report from last night's event:
"Candidates call for left transfer pact as Dublin Central competition gets off to friendly start"
https://www.thejournal.ie/dublin-central-by-election-7022100-Apr2026/
Keep Left emerged from the Catherine Connolly presidential election campaign in 2025.
Similar to Marriage Equality (#MarRef) and Together for Yes (#RepealThe8th), it's non-party, and aims at uniting parties on the left around shared common goals. Dublin Central is something of a test bed.
You can find out more about the Keep Left movement at: https://keepleft.ie/

Oh decisions decisions.
I have two phones because I absolutely am not giving my enployer(s) permission to install or rely on anything on my own personal phone.
So now I’ve gotten requests to respond to an election exit poll questionnaire on both numbers.
What to do??
What was your favourite Jim Gavin gaffe?
So:
✅ Fianna Fáil lose their deposit
✅ Jim Gavin barely lasted A WEEK
✅ He's still on the ballot paper, notwithstanding this announcement
🤔 Why announce late on a Sunday night?
🤔 WHAT is going to be published tomorrow..!?
🤔 What was Micheál Martin thinking??
🤔 Billy Kelleher must be RAGIN
🗳️
So what's the election hashtag? #Áras25?
