Parties prepare to drop curtain on their campaigns

FINE GAEL leader Enda Kenny will blitz several Munster constituencies today as the General Election campaign enters its final 48 hours.

Mr Kenny will visit Waterford, Cork East and Limerick West, and will deliver a keynote speech on his health commitments.

He will stick to Fine Gael’s core message that the election should be viewed as a referendum on the health services, and reiterate his pledge that he will not seek re-election as Taoiseach if he does not deliver on his commitment to deliver 2,300 more hospital beds.
