Details
Submitted by[?]: Páirtí Forásach Sóisialach
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 4222
Description[?]:
| We should be making it possible for children even of families that might need them to work to go to school. They are our future and without better funding and child labor laws we will never get a well educated workforce. Therefore we must provide a minimum income so families can afford to send their kids to school and also provide more money and guidance to all non-religious schools in our country. |
