Support dips for Irish PM's party ahead of election - poll

DUBLIN, Jan 30 (Reuters) Support for Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny's party fell for the second time in a row in one of the country's main opinion polls today, weeks ahead of a general election, but his junior coalition partner posted its best result since September.
The poll leaves the coalition several percentage points shy of the numbers needed to secure a majority of seats, leaving the country facing the relative instability of a minority government, an unstable broad coalition dependent on independent deputies or an election re-run.
Kenny's Fine Gael secured the support of 29 per cent of respondents to the Sunday Business Post-Red C poll, down from 30 percent a week ago and 32 per cent in December, but it remains comfortably the most popular party in the country. Junior coalition partner Labour was up 1 point to 10 per cent.
