Kate O'Connell was not asked to run for Fine Gael in the forthcoming General Election. Fine Gael HQ was in discussions with her - along with others - about a potential addition.
In a statement, Ms Blain said she was 'delighted' to be asked by Taoiseach Simon Harris to contest the next election as a candidate for Dublin Bay South.
A mother of two young children who previously worked as a journalist with the Sunday Independent, Ms Blain said her priorities include the rising cost of childcare, access to housing, transport, local business and women's health.
Mr Geoghegan, who is the current Lord Mayor of Dublin, is now joined on the ticket by his council colleague Ms Blain after she was selected following a meeting of the Fine Gael executive council yesterday.
