According to the poll, the Green Party is on 5% support.
Backing for Independent TDs sits at 11%.
Labour, led by new leader Ivana Bacik, has support at 3%.
The poll puts support for the Social Democrats at 4%.

The Red C poll was based on interviews with a random sample of 1,002 adults aged 18 and over between May 20 and May 25.
