Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has failed to get a leadership bounce in the latest opinion poll.
Fine Gael built up a sizable lead over Fianna Fáil during the coverage of its leadership contest.
However today’s Red C Poll in the Sunday Business Post shows it is down two points to 27 per cent while Fianna Fáil is up by three points to 24.
Sinn Fein are up 3 to 18, while the unaligned independents are down six to 8.
