Fianna Fáil launches plan for moving Ireland forward, together

Fianna Fáil Leader and Tánaiste Micheál Martin has vowed that Fianna Fáil will protect the real progress made over the term of the last Government and deliver targeted and sustained action on the most important economic and social issues facing the country.

Today (November 11, 2024), Mr Martin was joined by several of Fianna Fáil's 82 General Election candidates to unveil the party's ambitious and comprehensive Manifesto.

The key areas it focuses on include:

· Helping families and businesses cope with high prices.

· A major programme of investment and reform in health services.

· Further expanding homebuilding and support for first-time buyers and renters.

· Support for safe, clean and successful communities.

· Protecting Ireland’s economy and its voice in Europe and the wider world.

· Investment in schools and all levels of education.

Tánaiste and Leader of Fianna Fáil Micheál Martin said: “Over the course of the last four and a half years, I’ve had the great honour of leading our country as Taoiseach and as Tánaiste.

“I and the Fianna Fáil party as a whole worked every day to help overcome some of the biggest challenges in our country’s history.

"In Government, we’ve put in place vital foundations for permanent progress, and our Manifesto shows where we will go next.

“Public finances are strong, public services have expanded, and major investments are underway.

“In order to secure services and investments into the future, we have also created the largest ever reserve funds.

“We have a record of real achievement, but we can and must go further.

“At this very challenging moment in Europe and the wider world, Ireland must be clear in its values and its direction.

“Our Manifesto is the blueprint for how Fianna Fáil in Government will protect the progress we all value and how we will deliver sustained action on the most important issues for Ireland’s future.

“This is our plan for moving Ireland forward, together.”
