Commitment

Operation Shamrock to bring emigrants home

What this means

  • Aontú is a political party that put forward this commitment in its November 2024 general election manifesto.[source]
  • The party proposed a scheme called Operation Shamrock to encourage Irish people who emigrated to come back and live in Ireland.[source]
  • Under the plan, returning emigrants would receive a 5,000 euro relocation grant to help cover the cost of moving home.[source]
  • Returning workers would also get a 10,000 euro tax break, meaning they would keep more of their earnings after coming back.[source]
  • This commitment is a promise only and has not been enacted. Aontú did not enter government, so voters can use this to hold the party to account on its stated positions.[source]
