Poll: Should the government call an early election?

Following today’s poll, what do you think they should do?

A POLL IN today’s Sunday Business Post has shown a jump in support for the government parties.

Labour is up two points to 10% and Fine Gael has seen its numbers rise three points up to 28%.

There is some mumblings that the government might be wise to cash in on the post-referendum good will and call an early election.

But what do you think? Would now be a good time?
