Red C Poll
Support for Government up as Fianna Fáil TD says his party is 'facing demise'
Support for Sinn Féin fell by four points to 17%.
DEPUTY ÉAMON Ó’CUÍV has said that Fianna Fáil is suffering from “an absolute collapse in self-belief”.
The grandson of Éamon De Valera, who founded the party, made the comments about the party to the Sunday Independent.
It comes as a RED C poll in the Sunday Business Post shows support for Fianna Fáil is unchanged at around 18%, while support for the Government has increased.
Fine Gael went up 3 points to 27% and Labour went up 3 points to 10% - this is the highest level of support both parties have had in a year.
Support for Sinn Féin fell by four points to 17%. It comes after the party faced further sex abuse allegations this month.
Independents and Others are on 28% – down 2 points. That figure also includes support for Renua Ireland on 2%.
The poll was conducted among 1,000 voters earlier in the week.
