## Resource

The Dublin Central byelection is heating up, with Sinn Féins Janice Boylan and the Social Democrats Daniel Ennis in a tight race. Veteran criminal Gerry Hutch is also in the mix. The final hours of campaigning are crucial, as every vote counts. Counting begins Saturday, with key areas like Glasnevin, Drumcondra, and Cabra West potentially swaying the results. Sinn Féin needs strong support in their traditional strongholds, while Hutchs performance will show if hes mobilizing his base. Ennis is expected to do well against other left-wing candidates, with his performance against Fine Gaels Ray McAdam in Paschal Donohoes former districts being a significant indicator. Unofficial counts will provide early insights as the official results roll in. The turnout was around thirty-nine percent, lower than past elections.
