Renua Launch: Lucinda’s 42-page document to revive Ireland

Renua Ireland’s policies are as notable for what’s missing as what’s included as the party’s 42-page policy summary has little on many of the major issues providing headaches for the current Government.

The document does not address mortgage arrears, the health service or education in any practical way.

Its only mention of justice is to declare the need for the gardaí and the courts to adopt a zero-tolerance approach to crime, and it has nothing specific on agriculture apart from recognising its crucial role in the recovering economy.
