What happened yesterday.
Fianna Fáil
Dermot Ahern launched a plan "to secure peace, build an all-island economy and establish Ireland as a global centre for conflict resolution".
"People have come around to our analysis of how anyone who has an aspiration for a united Ireland can do it, not down the barrel of a gun, not with a bomb in a car but by dialogue and by trying to convince others that our aspiration for Irish unity is one that they should perhaps embrace."
Fine Gael
The party's deputy leader, Richard Bruton, hosted a briefing on what he said were Fianna Fáil's broken promises on health and other issues.
He said delivering on promises was not just about the level and rate of growth of spending, but about how the money was spent.
"We will scrutinise and publish evaluations so there will not be a repeat of e-voting. We are committed to squeezing out the squandering and waste."
Labour
Party leader Pat Rabbitte accused the Government of lacking the political will to deliver on hospital beds.
He said Labour was determined not to allow public land adjoining public hospitals to be sold for private clinics. "The Harney solution is to treat healthcare as a market commodity, not a service to the community."
Progressive Democrats
Mary Harney claimed Fine Gael's promise of 2,300 extra hospital beds was "bogus" and would be broken in the first year.
She said Fine Gael and Labour figures suggested that 560 new hospital beds would be in place by the end of 2008, but this would be impossible to provide in the time available, either by the public or the private sector.
"560 beds is the size of many regional hospitals ... No one can build a new hospital in one year. No one can build extensions to existing hospitals for 560 beds in just one year."
Green Party
The party proposed one agency to oversee transport planning, infrastructure, timetables and routes.
Party leader Trevor Sargent said the authority would have a role in approving new regional planning guidelines which would complement the national transport plan.
"Our proposed authority allows for this crucial connection between land use, planning and transportation policies, which has been missing for the last 10 years."
Sinn Féin:
Party health spokesman Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin said health was "the single biggest issue of concern to people in Ireland in 2007" but it had featured very little in this general election campaign.
"We have the resources in Ireland to ensure that everyone has equal access to health services that are both equitable and efficient."
