needs to concentrate on the message that the party is fit and ready to continue in Government and that it has the insights needed to make progress on the issues of most concern to the population.
The conclusion is that the formation of a Government is more than likely to fall to Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil with support from another cohesive group.

Fine Gael must now concentrate on getting the essence of its strategy across to voters.

The manifesto plans for investment in water and sanitation services need to be expressed in clear and concise terms. The message is that these plans too are essential to the achievement of house building targets and also to industrial development, regional development, climate policy and biodiversity.
