Commitment
Cap childcare costs at €200 per month per child
What this means
- Fine Gael promised to cap childcare costs at a maximum of 200 euro per month for each child, as part of its 2024 general election manifesto.[source]
- The commitment also includes expanding the National Childcare Scheme so that childminders are covered, broadening the types of care that qualify for support.[source]
- This is a promise made by Fine Gael, not yet delivered. It was first stated on 17 November 2024 and no delivery date has been set.[source]
- The policy falls under children and youth affairs. Voters and oversight bodies can use this commitment to hold Fine Gael to account if it enters government.[source]
