Dublin North

Number of seats: 4

Only one of the four outgoing TDs is standing, Trevor Sargent (GP) and he seems secure. Clare Daly of the Socialist Party seems likely to take a seat, possibly at the expense of Labour. Fianna Fail not sure of second seat.

Prediction: FF 2; GP 1; SP 1.

Best candidate: Clare Daly (SP)

Weakest link: John O'Leary (FF)

In the long grass: Joe Corr (GP)
