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.15: "Increase income tax credits annually by at least €100 to reduce the income tax burden on workers particularly focused on low- and middle-income workers.". Fianna Fáil manifesto commits to an annual €100 uplift in income tax credits rather than full wage-indexation of credits and bands as described in the claim title. The total €1.1bn/yr figure recorded in the dataset is not stated verbatim.
