The Sunday Times reported on Sherratt’s possible byelection run for Sinn Féin in an election that is likely to be held in April or May. Sherratt, who is a member of Sinn Féin, declined to comment when contacted by The Irish Times. A Sinn Féin spokesman said that a date for the Dublin Central selection convention is yet to be set.
