FF enters day two of political Think In at Killiney Castle

The focus is on the budget, cost of living and on housing.

Fianna Fáil has entered day two of its Think In at Killiney Castle in Dublin ahead of the Dáil’s return from summer recess tomorrow.

Discussions have focused on the budget, the cost of living, housing, health, education and childcare.

Addressing health, Party Leader Micheál Martin said waiting lists have been dramatically reduced while a national cancer strategy has seen survivor rates increase "exponentially" in the last 20 years.

"We're now at the top rung of the EU table in terms of life expectancy," he added.
