Labour has picked up a two point boost from its recent national conference in Mullingar. And now sits on 6%.

Sinn Féin is still stuck on 11% despite holding its Ard Fheis in Derry last weekend.

The Green Party is unchanged on 7%.

It comes ahead of four by-elections due to be held on Friday and the upcoming General Election, likely to be held in the first half of next year.

The drop in support for Fine Gael comes after its Wexford by-election candidate Verona Murphy twice had to apologise for linking asylum seekers to Islamic State.

Meanwhile, Fianna Fáil has had issues with its Dublin Fingal candidate Lorraine Clifford Lee who has apologised for racist and offensive tweets she posted in 2011.

Support for independent TDs has dropped by one point to 12%, while the Independent Alliance is unchanged on 4%.

The Social Democrats remain unchanged on 2% while Solidarity People-Before Profit are up one on 2%.

The Red C Poll was taken between last Thursday November 14th and Thursday November 21st.
