There's been a sharp drop in support for Fianna Fáil in the latest political opinion poll.

It comes after the party agreed to support another year and a half of Fine Gael in Government.

The first Red C/Sunday Business Post poll of the year and shows Fianna Fáil down five points to 22 per cent support since November.

Fine Gael has also dropped two - but is on 32 per cent support - a full 10 points ahead of their nearest rivals.

It'll be a relief for the Government after a tough few weeks with questions about their preparedness for Brexit, the Children's Hospital overspend and an upcoming nurses strike.

Sinn Féin are unchanged on 13 per cent since November.

With Labour and the Independent Alliance also static on 6 and 5 per cent respectively.

The Green Party is also unchanged on 3 points.

Much of the dropped support has gone to Independents - who are up 4 to 14 per cent.

The Social Democrats have 2 per cent support - while Solidarity People Before Profit are up two to two.

The telephone poll of 1,000 voters by Red C was taken between Thursday January 17 and Thursday January 24.
