DUBLIN (Reuters) - Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris' Fine Gael party has slipped into third place after losing a quarter of its support in less than two weeks, according to one of the final opinion polls before Friday's general election.

Support for Fine Gael has fallen to 19% from 25%, the Irish Times/Ipsos B&A poll showed on Monday. Fine Gael's main coalition partner Fianna Fail was up two points to 21%, while opposition party Sinn Fein was up one point to 20%.
