Commitment

Increase maternity, paternity and parent's leave

What this means

  • The Green Party made this commitment in their November 2024 general election manifesto, so it is a promise not yet law.[source]
  • The party pledged to increase maternity, paternity and parent's leave to give parents more paid time at home with young children.[source]
  • This falls under children and youth policy, meaning it would affect families with newborns and young children across Ireland.[source]
  • No delivery date was set, so voters and watchdogs cannot hold the party to a specific deadline if it enters government.[source]
  • Because it is a manifesto promise with no named officeholder attached, accountability depends on whether the Green Party gains power to act on it.[source]
