Poll favours Rainbow Coalition

The Labour Party is reacting with confidence to the latest poll which indicates that more voters would favour an alternative coalition to the Fianna Fáil/PD alliance.

In total, 36% of those surveyed in the Irish Times/MRBI poll would prefer a rainbow grouping of Labour, Fine Gael and possibly the Greens, compared to 31% who would like to see the current Government stay in power.
