Sinn Féin proposes a €130 Activity Card for Irish children aged 4-18, aiming to address substance abuse, cost-of-living crisis, and promote sports and culture.

Sinn Féin proposes a €130 Activity Card for Irish children aged 4-18, providing them credit for sports and arts activities. Inspired by a similar model in Iceland, the initiative aims to reduce substance abuse among young people, help families with the cost-of-living crisis, and promote access to sports and culture. A digital platform would be created for parents to register their children, and once approved, the child's account would be credited with €130 to spend on the website. The proposal would require new legislation and fall under the Department of Children and Equality's purview.
