Commitment
Provide free public transport for under-18s
What this means
- The Social Democrats promised to make all public transport free for everyone under the age of 18 in Ireland.[source]
- This commitment was set out in the party's general election manifesto, published on 19 November 2024.[source]
- The policy falls under the transport area and is aimed at reducing travel costs for young people and their families.[source]
- As of the manifesto date, this remains a promise only. No delivery date was specified, and no action has been recorded yet.[source]
- Tracking whether this promise is acted on matters for accountability, as it would affect public spending and transport planning across Ireland.[source]
