The latest Sunday Independent/Ireland Thinks poll indicates significant discontent among supporters of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael regarding their parties' alliance with Michael Lowry, a controversial Tipperary TD. A striking 66 percent of the public disapprove of his involvement, marking a rise in discontent from previous months. Disagreement on the Government's tactics is echoed in the T.D. ranks, with 53 percent opposing the partnership. The looming Dáil session hints at potential conflict over speaking time, suggesting persistent tensions as the Government seeks a resolution with opposition parties.
A majority of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael supporters disagree with their own parties doing a deal with controversial Tipperary TD Michael Lowry.
Overall, the public's disapproval of Mr Lowry's involvement has risen to 66pc, up three points on last month's poll.
A breakdown of the results shows disapproval of Mr Lowry within ­Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael party ranks, with 53pc of respondents from both parties saying they don't approve.
It seems to me, most likely, we're back into a huge conflict at the start of business on Wednesday.
