A total of 10% opted for Labour, a three-point slip, while 24% said Sinn Féin - a three-point gain for Gerry Adams' party.

There was also good news for Fianna Fáil which increased support by three points to 17%.

Fine Gael was down one point to 32%, and Independents and others were down two points to 15%.
