Well, you know what they’ve always said about it…

SINN FÉIN support is continuing to grow and the party is now attracting more than twice as many voters as the Labour Party, according to the latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll.

The poll also shows Fine Gael retaining its position as the biggest party in the State, while support for Fianna Fáil has increased for the first time since the last general election.

Satisfaction with the Government has increased since the last Irish Times poll five weeks ago but satisfaction with Taoiseach Enda Kenny has slipped.

FG 32% (-1)
SF 24% (+3)
FF 17% (+3)
Ind/Others 15% (-2)
Lab 10% (-3)
GP 2% (no change)
