Fine Gael found its support dropping a point to 20%, while Fianna Fail also dropped by a point to 15%. 

According to the poll, the Green Party is on 5% support.

Backing for Independent TDs sits at 11%.

Labour, led by new leader Ivana Bacik, has support at 3%.

The poll puts support for the Social Democrats at 4%.

People Before Profit-Solidarity remains at 3%, while Aontu is at 2%.
