Commitment

Cap childcare costs at €100 per week

What this means

  • Aontú is a political party that made this promise in its 2024 general election manifesto, published on 21 November 2024.[source][source]
  • The party committed to capping childcare costs at €100 per week, which would limit what parents pay regardless of the actual cost of the service.[source][source]
  • Aontú also proposed a €3,000 yearly childcare subvention for parents who choose to stay at home to care for a child during the first three years of life.[source][source]
  • This commitment is a promise only. It has no confirmed delivery date and Aontú is not in government, so it has not been put into law.[source]
  • Tracking this promise matters for accountability because voters can check whether parties that enter government act on childcare pledges made before the election.[source]
