NOT GERRY GOOD ODDS FOR THE MONK..

GERRY ‘The Monk' Hutch is currently trailing in the betting odds to win the Dublin Central by-election.

- BY EMMA NEVIN

Running as an Independent candidate in last year’s general election, Hutch sensationally received 3,098 first-preference votes - and narrowly missed out on the last seat to Labour's Marie Sherlock.

Now he has another shot at a Dail seat in Dublin Central as former Minister Paschal Donohoe's departure from politics will trigger a by-election in the constituency.
