Election Daily: Another day, another huge campaign promise
About this episode
Jennifer Bray and Pat Leahy join Hugh for our daily discussion of the election campaign:
Simon Harris says Fine Gael would remove the means test for recipients of the carer's allowance. It is a move already supported by many opposition parties. But it would be expensive - potentially much more so than the €600 million per year figure mentioned by the Taoiseach.
Sinn Fein launched their immigration policy. It's much like the one published by the party in the summer - with some interesting additions.
Calls for an end to the sniping between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil
