Many big political names and familiar faces have announced that they are not running in General Election 2024.
Eighteen Fine Gael TDs elected in 2020, for example, are not contesting the election - among them former taoiseach Leo Varadkar (Dublin West).
Other former party leaders not seeking re-election include Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South) of the Greens, Catherine Murphy (Kildare North) and Róisín Shortall (Dublin North-West) of the Social Democrats, and Brendan Howlin (Wexford), who once led the Labour Party.
Two members of well-known political dynasties, Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West) and Seán Haughey (Dublin Bay North) bowed out as the 33rd Dáil wrapped up.
Two constituencies will see three TDs elected in 2020 not on the ticket this time out.
In Haughey's Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael's Richard Bruton is also moving on, while Labour's Aodhán Ó Riordán was elected to the European Parliament earlier this year.
Louth says goodbye to Fine Gael's Fergus O'Dowd, Sinn Féin's Imelda Munster and Independent Peter Fitzpatrick.
Other TDs elected in 2020 who have since been elected to Europe include Barry Cowen (Fianna Fáil, Offaly), Kathleen Funchion (Sinn Féin, Carlow-Kilkenny) and Michael McNamara (Independent, Clare).
Fianna Fáil's Michael McGrath was appointed as an EU Commissioner in September 2024, with fellow Cork South Central man, former tánaiste Simon Coveney of Fine Gael, also not contesting.
PBP-Solidarity's Bríd Smith (Dublin South-Central), Independent Denis Naughten (Roscommon-Galway) and Independent Marc MacSharry (Sligo-Leitrim) are other well-known names not contesting this time out.
Others include Fine Gael's Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan), John Paul Phelan (Carlow-Kilkenny), Joe Carey (Clare), David Stanton (Cork East), Michael Creed (Cork North-West), Joe McHugh (Donegal), Josepha Madigan (Dublin Rathdown), Ciarán Cannon (Galway East), Brendan Griffin (Kerry), Charlie Flanagan (Laois), Michael Ring (Mayo), Damien English (Meath West) and Paul Kehoe (Wexford). Eoghan Murphy (Dublin Bay South) resigned back in 2021.
Labour's Seán Sherlock (Cork East) and Jackie Cahill (Tipperary North) are other familiar faces saying goodbye to the Dáil.
