That would set a deadline of November for this electoral contest.
However, some political figures say the prospect of a by-election before the summer cannot be ruled out.
It will be an intriguing contest and the first electoral test of the current Government.
Fine Gael is likely to choose one of two candidates, either former TD Kate O Connell or Councillor James Geoghegan.
The Green Party chairperson, Hazel Chu is also seen as a likely candidate in what is the constituency of the Green Party Leader, Eamon Ryan.
Labour Senator Ivana Bacik has already confirmed her intention to run.
Fianna Fáil is set to consider running either Councillor Claire O Connor or Councillor Deirdre Conroy.
Espinal has served on the City Council for less than two years.
Espinal, a Democrat, was first elected to the City Council, replacing outgoing Council President Luis Aponte in a Special Election on November 5, 2019. He won the seat with 282 votes against Independent opponent Jeffrey Lemire’s 17 votes.
However, he first had to emerge out of a hotly-contested Democratic primary that fall for the seat which he did with 36% of the vote.
New Council Leadership
Another election for a top spot on the Council also took place on April 13. (Ward 7) Councillor John Igliozzi, a Democrat, was chosen President of the Council. His 23 years of service, the longest of all councilors, is a sharp contrast to Espinal’s less than two years on the board.

Key points:
Stickers directing students to and from QASMT in Toowong were installed by Cr James Mackay in late January
Labor questioned the appropriateness of the stickers which had Cr Mackay s name on them
