A number of promises were made by Tánaiste Joan Burton, if the Labour party return to government.
If re-elected they will help first-time house buyers by introducing a “save to buy” scheme that would enable them to save for a deposit.
The plan would involve a top up of €1 for every €4 saved, subject to a cap of €1,200 over five years.
The plan will also get rid of USC charge for middle and lower-income earners
Joan Burton says she'll increase the state pension every year for the next five years if she's remains
government.
The Labour leader says the pension will be increased by €5 a week - saying it's the least that older people deserve.
The plan is set to cost just over €100 million a year every year.
