Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Fianna Fáil made spending commitments of more than €36 billion with smaller tax reductions in the region of €3 billion and Sinn Féin made the biggest offering by far with extra spending of €46 billion and tax reductions of €3 billion.
53% : In broad terms, Fine Gael made spending commitments of more than €28 billion for the next five years in tandem with tax reductions of €6 billion.
25% : How this largesse was to be funded, given the potential for international trade chaos during the second coming of Donald Trump and serious strains in the euro zone with political uncertainty in France and Germany, was never addressed.
