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.
