A new poll has revealed support for the European Union in Ireland has fallen to its lowest level since 2012. Support has been declining slowly since it hit a high in 2019 during Brexit negotiations.

At that time 93% of people expressed their continued backing for EU membership. Today that figure has fallen to 82%. The survey was carried out by Amárach Research, for the European Movement Ireland (EMI). About a third of respondents believe the EU is failing to uphold its core values and 26% are unhappy with the direction it is going in.
