'We've a good working majority' - Taoiseach not worried about potential no-confidence vote

Recent polls put Sinn Féin as, by far, the most popular party in the country, polling around 37%. Fianna Fáil is around 15-20% in most polls.

The Taoiseach says he is not concerned about an election amid a likely vote of no confidence in government next week.

Sinn Féin is likely to call a vote after the government lost its parliamentary majority on Wednesday when Fine Gael TD Joe McHugh voted against the government.
