Fianna Fáil is officially the most popular party in the country once more.

The latest Irish Times/MRBI poll claims Micheál Martin's party has 30 percent support, compared to just 27 percent for Fine Gael.

They've both improved since the last time voters were asked in October.

Labour has also gained in popularity. However Independents have dropped, as have Sinn Fein who've gone down 2 points to 14 percent.

The face-to-face survey spoke to 12-hundred adults across the country on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
