Sinn Féin Policies

€10 A Day Childcare For All

Sinn Féin in government will deliver childcare at €10 a day per child because we recognize that good quality affordable childcare is essential for families and for the economy. Sinn Féin will lift the burden off hardworking families, many of whom are under pressure. We will make Ireland a better place to raise a family and build a future.

A Home Of Your Own

Sinn Féin has a plan to make housing affordable and to bring homeownership back within reach of working people.
Sinn Féin’s housing plan will deliver 300,000 new homes – private, public, affordable and to rent homes as well as enabling people to build homes in their own communities.
This is a comprehensive costed plan, the scale and ambition of which has never been set out by any other party. We are ready to start delivering this plan from day one in Government.



Reforming and Expanding our School Transport System

This document outlines Sinn Féin’s proposals to reform the school transport system and end the current chaos families face. The plan sets out how the party would expand school transport and deliver an additional 100,000 school bus places with an additional investment of €250 million. Our plan would expand the eligibility criteria for mainstream school transport, build capacity in the school transport system and provide the investment required to meet the projected increase in demand for SEN transport services.

Mental Health Action Plan

Sinn Féin will transform how mental health services are delivered in Ireland. We will bring about widespread and significant change in how mental health care services are delivered across the state.
We would deliver an accessible mental health service – rooted in local communities. Ensuring access to the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

Bringing Home Ownership Back into Reach for Working People

Sinn Féin’s Affordable Homes Plan will bring homeownership back into reach for working people and deliver affordable homes to rent. The big difference between Sinn Féin’s Affordable Homes Plan and Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael’s approach is the scale of our ambition and the price that we will deliver affordable homes. Our plan will see the state fund and deliver an unprecedented 50,000 affordable homes to buy and to rent over five years.

International Protection: A Fair System That Works

Sinn Féin has a plan to fix the broken international protection system. A plan for a system that works well, works quickly, where the rules are applied, where fairness is paramount, and where people are treated with dignity and local communities are treated with respect. As Irish republicans and a party of the left, our plan is rooted in our values of equality, anti-racism and human rights and stands firmly with working-class communities who have been neglected and forgotten for generations.
