Irish socialist party outlines radical policies including free childcare, higher wages, and cannabis legalization.

People Before Profit (PBP) released a manifesto calling for a radical transformation of Ireland, including free childcare and public transport, a four-day workweek, and higher wages. The socialist party pledges to ban "vulture funds" in housing, build 35,000 social and affordable homes annually, and legalize cannabis. PBP also plans to abolish the USC for incomes below €100,000 and introduce a wealth tax. The party rules out forming a coalition with Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil, aiming to create a left-leaning government.
