Sinn Féin lead on Fine Gael increases
Sinn Féin has a four point lead on its nearest rivals Fine Gael in the latest opinion poll.
The main opposition party has risen 3% to 31% percent popularity according to the latest Ipsos MRBI survey for the Irish Times.
Fine Gael are down three in second place while Fianna Fail are up 6.
Irish Times Political Editor Pat Leahy says Sinn Fein will be pleased with their lead.
"They're up by three points from the last poll in February, 31% of first preference support, the highest level we've ever seen them at in this series of polls.
"They're well ahead of Fine Gael on 27% and Fianna Fáil on 20%, so certainly it's a good day for Sinn Féin."
