According to a recent poll conducted by Claire Byrne Live the vast majority of the nation would prefer another election instead of a Fine Gael minority-led government.
The poll found that 45% of the public would like to go to the polling once again instead of enduring another 5 years of a Fine Gael leadership compared to 42% of people who said they would be happy with a Fine Gael led minority government whilst 13% said they were unsure.
The poll comes as talks between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are expected to continue this morning.
