We are into the second day of the first full week of campaigning for General Election 2024. The election will take place on the 29th of November, when the people of Clare will cast their ballots for which four TDs will represent them in the 34th Dáil. Monday saw political parties publishing a range of policy papers, while independent candidates outlined their policies to the electorate. The Fine Gael leader believes it's 'unusual' for some parties to say they want to take over certain government departments. Fianna Fáil is committing to creating a new Department of Domestic Affairs if re-elected. Sinn Féin has pledged to start tackling Universal Social Charge rates in the party’s first 100 days in government if it wins the election. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Fianna Fáil candidate Cathal Crowe, Fine Gael Candidate Leonora Carey, and Sinn Féin Candidate Donna McGettigan. Picture (c) pixelshot via Canva
