Support wanes for FG, Labour and Green coalition

PUBLIC support for an alternative government coalition of Fine Gael, Labour and the Green Party has waned, according to a new opinion poll.

Twelve months ago, combined support for the rainbow parties stood at 40%, giving the potential coalition a narrow, two-point lead over the existing Fianna Fáil-PD government, which was on 38%.

The latest poll, however, indicates Fianna Fáil and the PDs enjoying a collective 45% of the vote, 10 points ahead of the rainbow parties’ combined share.
