Verification
Cross-checked against the source document. Quote captured verbatim where the figure is directly stated; gaps and mismatches are noted honestly.
Searched Fianna Fáil GE2024 Manifesto, p.35: "an increased Rent Tax credit.". Fianna Fáil manifesto commits to 'an increased Rent Tax credit' but does not specify the doubling from €750 to €1,500 or the €400m annual cost recorded here. The figures appear to be planning assumptions.
Evidence & sources
Every euro figure above ultimately traces back to the source document below.
