What this means
- Sinn Féin is a political party that put forward this commitment as part of its 2024 general election manifesto published on 19 November 2024.[source]

- This commitment was presented as part of a broader package of policies aimed at young people, making it a targeted pledge for that group.[source]
- The promise has no stated delivery date, which makes it harder for voters to hold the party to account on when it would be delivered.[source]
