The Taoiseach says Fine Gael's tax policies following the next election will be designed to bring 75,000 emigrants back home.
Enda Kenny says his manifesto will include the total abolition of the Universal Social Charge.
He describes the USC as a savage tax introduced by Fianna Fáil because of the financial crisis. It was introduced in 2011, replacing the health contribution, and brings about €4.5bn to the state each year.
Kenny says abolishing the USC, and creating more jobs, will help to bring young people home:
A poll published today in the Sunday Times shows Fine Gael drop three points to 24 compared to two months ago, while Labour gain two points to 8 - but their combined support is well short of re-election levels.
Fianna Fáil fall one point to 19, and now stand level with unchanged Sinn Féin - but the poll also shows how the electorate is becoming increasingly fractured.
17 per cent support independent candidates - including 5% for the Independent Alliance.
The combined left bloc of the Socialist/Anti Austerity/People Before Profit alliance are on 7, Renua are on 2, while the Greens, Social Democrats and the Workers Party are each on 1 per cent.
The Behaviour & Attitudes poll was taken between October 5th and 14th - meaning it was almost entirely taken before the Budget.
