Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald has accused the Government of "throwing out election promises like confetti".
Addressing Tánaiste Joan Burton during Leaders' Questions, Ms McDonald said the Government pledged to "oppose water charges, property tax and not cut social welfare" but broke its word.
She said: "You voted through five budgets that hit working families hardest" and went on to accuse the Tánaiste of letting Taoiseach Enda Kenny set the agenda.
Adding that Labour had "failed to stand up to Frankfurt" during the financial crisis, she asked Ms Burton "how can you expect anyone to believe you?"
In answering, the Tánaiste pointed out that Sinn Féin voted for the bank guarantee and added that voters "know Ireland is in a dynamic recovery mode" which "starts with people going back to work".
She noted that "of the 330,000 jobs lost after Fianna Fáil's disastrous bank guarantee - with Sinn Féin voting for it - we have restored the Irish economy".
Amid much background disruption, the Tánaiste said "we have managed to restore a social economy as well".
Deputy McDonald outlined a number of cuts that Labour presided over while "on top of that they slapped on a water charge".
She asked the Tánaiste if she recognised the Tesco advert from the last election - "every little helps".
Ms McDonald warned that "people have wised up. You are quite happy to let Fine Gael set the agenda, run down public services and ignore any promise you might make".
Bringing up the bank guarantee, she said: "Your record, Tánaiste, is that you renewed that quite a number of times while in government.
"Although the recovery is 'dynamic' in your view, it has not visited the vast majority of communities and families."
The Dublin Central representative told the Tánaiste to "come clean, put your hands up and not insult the intelligence of the electorate by rerunning this kind of scam all over again".
The Tánaiste argued that the Coalition had increased the minimum wage for a second time during Labour's time in office to the tune of €3,000 a year.
She also noted that this year will see the first reduction in class sizes since the crash.
Ms Burton, who stands in Dublin West, added that "Sinn Féin lives in an economic bubble of its own" and accused the party of having "no plan".
Tánaiste questioned over IW call centre contract
Social Democrat leader Catherine Murphy has raised questions over the awarding of the Irish Water call centre contract to the same company that ran the Student Universal Support Ireland grant scheme and the Property Tax contract.
During Leaders' Questions in the Dáil today, Deputy Murphy said that "despite both being high-profile failures", Abtran still received the contract.
Ms Murphy pointed out that Abtran has 10 other state contracts and that the Irish Water contract is a lucrative one.
However she said one of the key criteria for the awarding of the contract was "a proven track record".
The Kildare North TD asked Joan Burton if she was satisfied that Abtran was awarded the contract and she asked for details regarding a "state investment into the company in late 2015".
The Tánaiste defended the SUSI system and said "while there were teething problems initially", it is now deemed one of the best new systems installed "by any Irish Government".
Ms Burton said the revenue commissioners reported "a very high level of compliance with property tax" and she said it's worked in an efficient and effective way.
In response, Irish Water said in a statement it "fully complies with public sector procurement guidelines."
"The contract for the operation of Irish Waters contact centre was awarded after a thorough Europe-wide public procurement process. Final tenders were evaluated against a range of criteria ... with Abtran emerging as the preferred bidder before being awarded the contract."
