      Michael Ring is one of three outgoing Fine Gael TDs hoping to hold on to their place in the Mayo five-seater. The 57-year-old was first elected in 1994 when he triumphed in a by-election held following the resignation of Padraig Flynn. He was subsequently re-elected in 1997, 2002 and 2007. Ring is currently Fine Gael's Spokesperson on Social Protection.
