Fianna Fáil is still behind, but up four points to 31%.

Sinn Féin is down five points to 14%, while unaligned Independents are down four points to 8%.

The Independent Alliance is unchanged at 3%, Labour is down a point to 3%, while Solidarity / People Before Profit are up two at 3%.

There's no change for the Green party on 2% or the Social Democrats on 1%.

Stephen O'Brien, Political Editor with the Sunday Times, observed: "[There's] a very significant move across the board, from the anti-establishment side of the Dáil to the established parties, Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil."

He added: "Sinn Féin has been remarkably steady over the last six opinion polls [...] Now it's dropped by five points. At the same time, there's been a very significant six point drop in Gerry Adams' personal support - and he is now by a distance the leader with the lowest satisfaction rating."
