Because of PR by STV method, parties with less than 10% nationally will find it challenging to get seats in proportion to their vote percentage, parties with 15% or higher will get a disproportionate share of seats.
My interpretation is that Independents will fare well in single constituencies where their personal following is strong. The national poll for independents is not reflecting individual strength in certain constituencies. So, SF, FG, and FF will achieve a share of seats greater than their national polling share, Aontu will achieve a share of less seats than their polling share. But based on this poll there is unlikely to be a coalition government led by FF, and shored up by independents. All is changed utterly.
"Michelle O’Neill is First Minister because the people put her there. The days of ‘No nationalist need apply’ are over; the North has changed for good." - Sinn Féin MP Chris Hazzard
Sinn Féin still leads all parties in latest Red C poll, as FF/FG combined sinks to all time low of 30%.

“Banning the Irish language and sending teachers to teach in hedge rows cast children learning to read as criminals. Deeming hurling and gaelic football illegal meant parishes holding matches was wholescale criminal enterprise.” Andrée Murphy on criminalizing Irish nationalists
