A SENIOR Fianna Fáil TD has warned that the there is an "existential" threat to the party in the wake of a poll that put its support at 10pc. Éamon Ó Cuív also said that it's a "myth" that the decline is due to external factors and questioned the party's direction. Fianna Fáil's support was just four points ahead of their Green Party coalition partner who were on 6pc. Mr Ó Cuív said on Twitter: "Looks like my prediction of there being two large parties but FF [Fianna Fáil] not being one of them, is coming to pass. Mr Ó Cuív is the grandson of Fianna Fáil founder Éamon DeValera and is himself a former deputy leader of the party.
