Commitment

Guarantee every child a school place

What this means

  • The Labour Party made a commitment in its 2024 general election manifesto to guarantee every child a school place in Ireland.[source]
  • The promise covers not just a school place but also access to the educational care and supports each child needs.[source]
  • This commitment was first stated on 17 November 2024 and remains a promise only, with no confirmed delivery date set.[source]
  • Because it is a manifesto promise and not yet policy, voters and oversight bodies should track whether Labour pursues this if it enters government.[source]
