Aontu: The small pro-life party that has grown in five years to be a big player in this general election

"Peadar Tóibín, leader of Aontú, emphasized that the party’s position on abortion is not a priority among voters on the doorsteps, indicating a shift in focus towards other issues."

"He expressed the need to reduce the cost of living, specifically mentioning the price of a pint, highlighting the concerns of everyday people and the party's intention to address these financial burdens."

"Tóibín also proposed a 'diaspora' tax break aimed at attracting those outside the country, signifying Aontú's approach to economic growth while fostering international connections."

"With 43 candidates standing behind him, Tóibín's launch serves as a testament to the rapid growth of Aontú, as he outlines potential coalition partners and sets a tone for future governance discussions."
