On 24 February 1994, Proinsias De Rossa (DL) sought to direct that the writ be moved for the by-elections in Dublin South-Central, and Enda Kenny (FG) sought to direct that the writ be moved for the by-elections in Mayo West. This was opposed by the government.[18] The government moved the writs on 18 May 1994.[19] The by-elections were held at the same date as the European Parliament election and the local elections.
