Ahead of a broadcast ban on election coverage tomorrow afternoon, all sixteen of Clare's election candidates have been discussing some of the issues that matter most to people in this county.
There was agreement across the board that more investment is needed in the Health service to ease the burden on the region's main hospital and reduce over crowding.
But a number of candidates expressed their concerns of a lack of investment surrounding the issues of mental Health, which they say is a growing concern among the young and old in this county.
Outgoing Fianna Fáil TD Timmy Dooley wants to see the establishment of a Mental Health Authority.
Sinn Féin's Noeleen Moran agrees that a clear strategy needs to be set out. She outlines her party's plan.
The state of the economy dominated much of the debate, with candidates each outlining their views on how to boost employment within the county.
Independent Dr Michael Harty says there has been an over emphasis on job creation in the Dublin area and he wants to see a focus on spreading the recovery to Clare.
Fianna Fáil's Michael McDonagh believes the IDA has let Clare down in terms of visits to the county and he insists that the self-employed have been forgotten about.
But Fine Gael's Pat Breen has been defending the IDA's record here saying measures have been put in place to allow for further growth in the county.
Independent Dermot Mulqueen wants to pur measures in place to give hope to the youth of the county to encourage them to want to live here.
Fine Gael's Joe Carey and Fianna Fáil's Clare Colleran Molloy clashed on the issue of Shannon and the Free Zone and how future growth will impact on the economy.
Childcare is also a huge issue for many voters at the moment, particularly in light of the closure of 5 West Clare centres earlier this month.
Independent candidate Ian Lynch claims the situation in West Clare is a direct result of lack of government investment in the sector.
Meanwhile, Fis Nua's Niamh O'Brien claims large corporations should also be obliged to provide childcare to workers.
While the Green Party's Fergal Smith says more should be done to allow new mothers to stay at home.
Candidates were also asked their views on repealing the 8th amendment to the constitution.
The amendment, approved by a vote in 1983, enshrines the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn and makes abortion illegal under the Irish Constitution.
Fine Gael's Mary Howard says, while she would have to see the wording of any proposed constitutional changes, the current laws have produced barbaric cases.
Independent Anne Norton is also backing a change to abortion laws, saying the situation where thousands of women travel from Ireland to the UK every year for terminations cannot be allowed to continue.
While, Labour's Michael McNamara says it's clear the 8th amendment isn't working.
On the issue of agriculture, a number of candidates expressed concerns over the struggles being faced by many farmers, saying there needs to be a focus on protecting the future of the smaller farmer.
Independent Richard Cahill wants to profits going back to the producers on the ground:
And, Independent Andre Hakizimana says we need to strengthen the local economy so farmers can get better prices for their produce.
Candidates will now make their final push on the doorsteps and in the media ahead of a broadcast ban on media coverage from 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
