A by-election is due to be held in the Dáil constituency of Dublin Central in Ireland in 2026, to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Paschal Donohoe on 21 November 2025. Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2011, the writ for the by-election must be issued within six months of the vacancy. In February 2026, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the by-election would be held in May, together with the 2026 Galway West by-election.
