It comes a week after the latest Irish Times/Ipsos B&A poll which also showed support for Sinn Féin continued to slump ahead of local and European elections in June, according to recent pollsl.

Across all polls, Sinn Féin is still ahead of rival parties but the party's continued decline this year has opened up a possible path to re-election for the current Government.
