As the second week of Ireland’s general election campaigning begins, political parties are set to release policy papers covering justice, health, transport, housing, and tourism. Fine Gael plans to enhance law enforcement with facial recognition tech and increase gardaí numbers, while Fianna Fáil aims to establish a transport police unit. Sinn Féin focuses on rural investment and maintaining a low VAT rate. The Social Democrats will introduce new housing and healthcare policies, and People Before Profit advocates for free public transport as a means to reduce emissions.
