  30th Irish general election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 30th Irish General Election will be held in 2006 or 2007, after the dissolution of the 29th Dáil by the President, at the request of the Taoiseach.
The selection of the election date could also be influenced by opinion polls and indications of the level of public support for the current governing coalition.
This election is expected to be a clear contest between the current Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats coalition and a possible "Rainbow" government of Fine Gael-Labour-Green, possibly with Sinn Féin holding the balance of power.
