Three parties are running candidates in the Dublin Bay South by-election who are or were landlords. Social Democrats candidate Sarah Durcan is renting out a €170,000 house in Castlebar, Co Mayo, that she bought in the early 2000s. She also owns an apartment in Castle Street, in the Dublin Bay South constituency, worth €260,000, and expects to pay €90 Local Property Tax next year on her Mayo home, and €225 for her Dublin apartment. This story initially reported that Social Democrats candidate Sarah Durcan would be paying €90 on LPT for each property. This was amended after a Social Democrats spokesperson clarified she will pay €90 LPT for her Mayo house but €225 for her Dublin apartment.
