Commitment

Abolish the USC for workers on the average wage

What this means

Sinn Féin promised to abolish the Universal Social Charge (USC) for workers earning at or below the average wage in Ireland.[source]
This commitment was made in Sinn Féin's November 2024 general election manifesto as part of a cost-of-living relief package.[source]
The USC is a tax deducted from most workers' pay, so removing it for average earners would increase their take-home pay directly.[source]
This is a promise only, not yet law or policy. Voters and watchdogs can use it to hold Sinn Féin to account if the party enters government.[source]
