Fine Gael support slumps in polls with days to go before Irish General Election

Support for Fine Gael has slumped by six percentage points with days to go before Ireland’s General Election, according to the latest poll.

Taoiseach Simon Harris’s party now trails both Fianna Fail and Sinn Fein, the Irish Times/Ipsos B&A survey indicates.

Fianna Fail leads the way on 21% – up two points on the last poll two weeks ago.

Sinn Fein stands on 20% – up one – while Fine Gael is on 19% – down six points since the November 14 poll.

Ireland goes to the polls on Friday.

The latest poll comes after Mr Harris apologised over the weekend after facing criticism for his handling of an encounter with a disability care worker while canvassing in Kanturk in Co Cork on Friday.
