Enda Kenny can still do no wrong as Irish Prime Minister – despite recent controversies surrounding hospital closures.
A new opinion poll shows that support for Kenny’s Fine Gael party is up again, four months after the General Election.
But just before Kenny breaks open the champagne comes the news that more than half of voters, 55 per cent, are not happy with the performance of the coalition Government.
Labor Party supporters are also dissatisfied with the Government’s showing to date with support for Labor marginally down and level with Fianna Fail.

The satisfaction rating for Kenny now stands at 53per cent, up 16 points since February.
Support for Fine Gael has risen by two points to 38per cent with Labor down one point from the general election to 18per cent.
Main opposition party Fianna Fail has gone up one point from their disastrous election performance to 18 per cent.
