A new poll shows support for Sinn Féin is holding steady, but the party is still struggling to pull ahead of the government.
The latest Business Post / Red C poll shows it remains the most popular party, but momentum appears to have stalled.
Sinn Féin is up one point to 24%.
Fine Gael is unchanged on 18%, while Fianna Fáil slips back to 16%.
Support for smaller parties is mixed, with the Social Democrats on 8%, and both Green Party and Solidarity–People Before Profit on 3%.
Independents are on 12 p%.
Despite leading the poll, Sinn Féin’s support has remained largely unchanged for over a year.
