Pat Leahy and Harry McGee analyse the latest Irish Times/Ipsos B&A poll results, which show that Sinn Féin has regained its position as the most popular party in the Republic while Fine Gael has slumped to a record low in the series.

The new data also show voters have little enthusiasm for the Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael-Independent Coalition, but Taoiseach Micheál Martin remains the most popular party leader.
