Bets are on for new Dublin Mayor


So who will be the first directly elected mayor of Dublin?

A lot of names are being bandied about but Paddy Power claims that Dermot Lacey - a Dublin councillor - is the favourite to check into the Mansion House next.

There are plenty of other names making waves in the bookie’s office as well - Labour’s Ruairi Quinn at 3/1, Fine Gael MEP Gay Mitchell at 6/1, former Mayor Royston Brady at 9/1 and Bertie Ahern at 33/1.

But if you fancy a long shot, have a punt on these - Bill Cullen, Joe Duffy and Duncan Stewart at 20/1, Marian Finucane at 33/1, Bono and Bob Geldof at 50/1, Gay Byrne at 80/1 and Miriam O’Callaghan at 100/1.
