The SDLP has made tackling cost of living pressures the number-one priority in its Stormont Assembly election manifesto.
Launching the 40-page policy paper, SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said his party was focused "within every fibre of our being" on lifting people out of poverty.
He accused the DUP and Sinn Féin of "15 years of crisis and failure", claiming Stormont 's leading parties are using rows about the Protocol, ministerial titles and border polls as a distraction.
