Sinn Féin has launched its education policy today, promising free education for every child for life, including third level, regardless of their socio-economic grouping.
The party's spokesperson for education and TD for Dublin South Central Angus O'Snodaigh said his party would fund the policy by introducing a third rate of tax for higher earners.
"Those people who have additional wealth would be taxed. (Our tax policy includes) a wealth tax and a third band of tax of 48% on monies earned over €100,000…That is the way you tackle the inequality," he said.
Meanwhile, the Greens are marking St Valentines Day by outlining their policy document on gay marriage while Fianna Fáil leader Michael Martin is canvassing in Cork South Central.
