Sinn Fein is proposing to give a million households a 500 euro gift card to buy essentials.

The measure is contained in the party’s alternative budget, which also includes 400 euro in energy credits for all households.

The party says it would have a two point one billion euro cost of living package, including a further 10 cent a litre cut to petrol and diesel and removing carbon tax on home heating oil.

It also promises to phase out the local property tax and introduce a 600 euro charge on people who own more than one property - which would be charged per property owned.

The party's Finance Spokesman and Donegal TD Pearse Doherty, says it would be up to the Department of Social Protection to decide who exactly qualifies for the 500 euro voucher:
