Leader of the party, Peadar Tóibín, said Aontú was running on a range of issues including housing, health, Irish unity and rural development.
He said the Government policy on housing was incorrect and he said they had put the "red carpet" out for international investors - which he claimed had driven up rents and pushed first time buyers out of the market Asked about the party's stance on migration, he said Aontú welcomed immigrants from war-torn regions or areas affected by famine as well as economic migrants.
He said Aontú was 'radically different' from all the other political parties and was challenging the 'uniformity' within Irish society.
