A new poll out this weekend shows satisfaction with the Government has dipped, with nearly half the people polled, unhappy with its performance.
The Sunday Independent Kantar Millward Brown opinion poll shows the Taoiseach's own popularity has also taken a hit and Fine Gael is suffering too.
Fine Gael's support has dropped two percentage points to 32%, while Fianna Fáil held on 27%. Sinn Féin's rating is down 1 point, and the Labour Party held on 5%.
Independents and others have mopped up most of the gains, swelling by five percentage points.
