Commitment

Abolish third-level student fees

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]
  • The party promised to abolish fees for third-level education, meaning students would no longer have to pay to attend college or university.[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]
  • As a manifesto promise, this commitment has not yet been acted on and remains at the status of promised, with no confirmed steps taken toward delivery.[source]
