The aftermath of last night’s shooting in Dublin is likely to move crime centre stage in the election campaign.

However the major parties are also launching policy documents in other areas today.

Sinn Fein will launch its full election manifesto this morning - the first of the four major parties to do so.

Labour will meanwhile outline its living wage policy - under which it will aim to bring the national minimum wage to €11.30 per hour, which would be guaranteed for public sector workers at least.

Fianna Fail meanwhile will outline its priorities for the health service, while Micheal Martin continues to campaign in Cork.

Fine Gael will outline its plans to ‘make work pay’ for families, while the Taoiseach continues his nationwide tour in Wicklow and Wexford.
