The elected MEPs took office on 16 July. This left four vacancies in the [[Dáil]] and one vacancy in the [[Seanad Éireann|Seanad]]. Another senator elected as an MEP had resigned her Seanad seat on 10 July, and was replaced by a nominee on the same day. A writ for by-elections for the vacancies in the Dáil must be moved within 6 months of that date.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.rte.ie/news/analysis-and-comment/2024/0617/1455050-general-election-by-elections/|title=The loopholes to avoiding four by-elections|website=[[RTÉ News]]|date=17 June 2024|first=Paul|last=Cunningham}}</ref>
