Coalition alternatives still running very close, says Rabbitte

LABOUR leader Pat Rabbitte yesterday said he was not at all perturbed by the findings of the Irish Examiner/Lansdowne opinion poll which showed his party with support levels of 10%.

Mr Rabbitte said the trend from 34 polls conducted over the past two years had clearly shown the Government and the alternative government of Labour and Fine Gael running neck-and-neck.

“Polls come and polls go,” he said on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland yesterday.
