Fianna Fáil sees boost in support in latest opinion poll

Fine Gael is holding steady at 32% but the gap is closing.

SUPPORT FOR FIANNA Fáil may be growing, according to a new opinion poll which puts just 3% between the two main political parties in Ireland.

The Red C/Sunday Business Post poll findings show no change for Fine Gael at 32%, while Fianna Fáil jumped three points to 29%.

Sinn Féin is down one point to 14%, Labour is at 6% and the Independent Alliance is at 3%.

Support for the Greens and Social Democrats is at 2%, while Solidarity/People Before Profit dropped two points to 1%.

The Sunday Business Post said the poll was taken at a time when Fianna Fáil was voicing its strong opposition to the potential sale of 18,000 Permanent TSB mortgages to an unregulated vulture fund.

    I saw the guy swimming way out at sea & thought what fecking eejit would swim out that far. We saw him stop for a while too & then didn’t see him any more. I can fully understand why someone reported the incident & fair play to them. I am sooo impressed by the coastguard rescue team & their rapid response & I am also glad no life was lost.

    Sad news from Kerry, the rescue services pulled the body of a drowned 20 year old from one of the lakes. This was as they were calling off the rescue here. The coast guard and RNLI must be incredibly busy during this weather. RIP.
