Election 2024: Aontú launches manifesto promising 'common sense' approach to range of issues

The party has a good chance of taking a number of seats, mainly thanks to the able performance of its single TD Peadar Tóibín in the previous Dáil

There's nothing as uncommon, we're often told, as common sense.

That is the central pitch for the Aontú party's manifesto, so much so its title is "Our Common Sense Manifesto". Throughout, different themes are approached with what the party calls "common sense".
