In Dublin Central – voters will have an even more controversial choice. As well as Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald – the suspected crime boss Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch is also on the ballot.
He’s currently on bail after being arrested in Spain during a money laundering investigation but that hasn’t stopped him running for office.
And, rather like the candidates, you might find some of the language in this report quite colourful.
