Sinn Féin continues a steady climb in support and now stands at 12 per cent of the national vote, its highest ever in an Irish Times/TNS mrbi poll in the Republic. This compares with 6.5 per cent in the 2002 general election.

Its support in Dublin is now equal to that of Fine Gael and Labour and it is poised to make significant gains in the local elections in June.

Its support is highest among younger voters, urban dwellers, men and the less well off.
