It has been confirmed that elections to fill the two vacant seats in the Dáil will be moved tomorrow.

Polling in by-elections to fill the seats in Longford-Westmeath and Dublin-West will take place on the same day as the local and European elections on May 23rd.

The polls will be held to fill the seats formerly held by the late Fine Gael TD Nicky McFadden and the Independent Patrick Nulty, respectively.

It is to fill the vacancy created following the death of Deputy McFadden last month. While the seat in Dublin-West is vacant after the resignation of Patrick Nulty.
