    Have the general election deposits been scrapped yet?

    As best I know. Perhaps contact the returning officer in your local area (appointed by local authority) to check.

    This appears to tbe the bill repealing deposits

    ELECTORAL (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2002
    http://www.gov.ie/bills28/bills/2002/1402/b14a02d.pdf

    But it appears to still be at the early stages of adoption and has not as yet become law.

    It appears you will need either (a) a certificate from a political party or (b) 30 unique nominations.
