When is the next Irish general election due? Also, isn't there a Presidential election due in a year or so?

It is not known yet when there will be an Irish general election. There's a lot of talk maybe within the Irish media or Irish political circles at the moment that the current 3 party government in Dublin would stay on for another year to let them see out their 5 year term in Government.

There is also quite a bit of work to do about who is going to take part in the Fine Gael leadership contest as well.

There's about 5 candidates in the mix for this upcoming FG leadership vote.

Simon Harris could be the big favourite to take on the job of Taoiseach. Although he has not formally announced his intention to run in this contest yet.

Other names popping up in the mix are Paschal Donohue, Heather Humphreys, Helen McEntee and Peter Burke.

None of these candidates have reported their intention to formally begin a campaign to run in the contest for Taoiseach either.

From a TV presentation point of view; the live news bulletin/news special coverage from the main PSBs in Ireland could show the results of that party leadership vote live maybe from somewhere in Dublin City Centre on either the 8th/9th of April. The last FG leadership vote was held in The Mansion House in 2018.
