Dublin Bay South is, traditionally, a stronghold for Fine Gael.
Leo Varadkar has said he doesn't believe Fine Gael would have won the Dublin Bay South by-election with Kate O'Connell as its candidate.
James Geoghegan placed second in yesterday's Dáil election in an area traditionally strong for Fine Gael.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar though, doesn't agree:
