The latest Sunday Times Behaviour and Attitudes poll shows the government's approval rating down 3 points .

Sinn Fein TD Darren O'Rourke says the scale of the energy crisis will increase over the winter months unless the Goverment intervenes.
He says his party is putting forward proposals to the Government in the budget to help people.
