Fine Gael today launched a six-week campaign ahead of next year's general election.

Health, crime rates and the waste of public money will be the main areas covered by the campaign, entitled "Ireland Deserves Better".

"Ireland deserves better than rising crime and falling detection rates," said party leader, Enda Kenny at the launch today.

"It also deserves a Government that uses the taxpayer's money wisely and well. And, most certainly it deserves better than a health system that regularly sees hundreds of people stranded on hospital trolleys for days on end."
