Party leader Micheál Martin is also due to campaign in Wexford.

Mary Lou McDonald will be in Wicklow to outline Sinn Féin's plans to tackle the trolley crisis.

Labour leader Brendan Howlin also visits Drogheda today, but to talk mainly about plans for the future of work in Ireland.

The Green Party will launch its air quality policy, while the Social Democrats outline their plans for the health service.

Meanwhile, Solidarity - People Before Profit holds its main campaign launch in Dublin.

It's another busy day on the campaign trail for all parties as the election campaign gathers momentum.
