Taoiseach says polling controversy should not have happened

The Taoiseach says the polling controversy was wrong and shouldn’t have happened.

Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Sinn Féin have all admitted using party members to pose as market researchers to gauge the opinions of voters in the past.

The Greens are the latest party to admit doing it but say they were isolated incidences.

Micheal Martin says he doesn’t know if any laws were broken but says it was dispensed with a long time ago. 

"That was a wrong practice, in my view.

"When you go to a door and you don't say who you are, that is not right and it is not proper and it shouldn't have happened."
