The Green Party has seen a significant bounce in support in two polls ahead of the local and European elections. One of the surveys also shows Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil neck and neck ahead of Friday's vote. Two separate opinion polls this evening both show a four-point bounce for the Green Party. That is still four points clear of Fianna Fáil which is up by 1% to 24%, with Sinn Féin down one to 13%. But B&A puts them level with Fianna Fáil, which falls 1% month on month.
