Election Daily: a new hope for Sinn Féin as Fine Gael tries to stop the rot

Jennifer Bray and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh Linehan to discuss today's news from the campaign trail:

• Reaction from Mary Lou McDonald (delight) and Simon Harris (dismay) to this morning's Ipsos B&A poll from The Irish Times that put Fine Gael in third place behind Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil.

• Also today, Simon Harris offered very limited support to the embattled candidacy of Senator John McGahon.

• Meanwhile in the battle of the small parties, Friends of the Earth ranked all parties according to the environmental friendliness of their policies. And the Greens did not come first, or even second. Will it matter?
