Dublin City Councillors have voted against co-opting an Inner City Helping Homeless worker to fill the late Anthony Flynn's seat for a second time.
The former CEO of the homeless charity, which has since been wound up, was found dead in a house in East Wall in August last year and his seat has remained vacant since then.
A group of Independents nominated long-time worker within the now disbanded charity Geraldine Molloy for the second time at Monday night's meeting of Dublin City Councillors.
