The Green Party in Ireland proposes a Citizens' Assembly to assess the feasibility of a four-day work week, focusing on pay and public service impacts. Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman suggests holding the assembly after one on education, with potential legislation by the third year of government. The party also plans to add a bank holiday in July, raising the total to 12, the European average. Other initiatives include a living wage, flexible working rights, and a State-led childcare system.
