GONE GREEN

Ryan's party faces vote misery | Sinn Fein still enjoying top spot

- PAT FLANAGAN

SINN Fein is still by far the country’s most popular party but the Greens would face a wipeout if an election was called, a new opinion poll has revealed. 

Support for Mary Lou McDonald’s party marginally increased to 32%, up 1% since the last survey.

Fine Gael and Fianna Fail remained “unchanged” at 20% and 19% respectively and support for the Green Party remained at 3%.

But as the Ireland Thinks/Sunday Independent poll has a 3% margin of error it may mean the Green party could end up with no TDs if an election was called now.
