Harry McGee and Jennifer Bray join Hugh for a look at today’s events on the campaign trail.

• Sinn Féin’s leasehold policy to make housing more affordable has been criticised by other parties, at times with little concrete justification. But has the party itself done enough to clarify how workable the scheme is?
• In the closing stages of this campaign, plenty of focus remains on the question of what parties say they would do in the event of an economic downturn.
• Sinn Féin finance spokesman Pearse Doherty asked voters to consider lending his party their vote, arguing that Sinn Féin TDs stood a better chance of changing the country than independents.
• Roderic O’Gorman engaged in his own version of Project Fear by invoking the spectre of Minister for the Environment Mattie McGrath. Could these anti-independent messages make an impact before Friday?
