A new poll has shown that a second general election would show no major changes in public opinion - with a grand coalition the most likely outcome.

The Red C poll for the Sunday Business Post shows no major gains for any of the three major parties, but continued slides for Labour.

Each of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin score 1% higher in this poll than they did in the election two weeks ago.

The major losers are Labour and the Independents - Independents down 4 points to 9, and Labour down 3 points to 4% giving it the same popularity as the Anti-Austerity Alliance/People Before Profit.

The biggest gains would, in theory, be made by the Social Democrats - up 2 points to 5, the same level as the Independent Alliance.

The Greens would remain on 3%, with Renua on 2..

The poll of over 1,000 voters on how they would vote if there was another general election suggests that while another election may seem possible, at present it wouldn’t produce a very different Dáil
