A new political opinion poll has once again raised the possibility of a Fianna Fáil - Fine Gael - coalition.
The Red C survey for the Sunday Business Post shows Fine Gael losing three points and now stands at 25 per cent.
Fianna Fáil's down two to 18 - level with Sinn Féin - while Independents now have 25 per cent with Labour at eight.
The survey was taken between Monday and Wednesday of this week.
