Agree

No, this is a waste of time and money

Sinn Féin may agree with this statement to some extent, as they tend to prioritize spending on social programs and public services. They might argue that resources would be better spent on addressing the root causes of drug addiction and providing support for those in need, rather than on drug testing.

Agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

While Sinn Féin has not explicitly addressed this issue, they may be somewhat open to the idea of providing treatment for those testing positive for drugs, as it aligns with their focus on social justice and support for vulnerable populations. However, they may still oppose mandatory drug testing as a prerequisite for receiving social welfare benefits.

Slightly agree

No, only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse

Sinn Féin may be somewhat open to this idea, as it could be seen as a more targeted and less discriminatory approach to addressing drug abuse among social welfare recipients. However, they may still have concerns about the potential stigmatization and invasion of privacy associated with drug testing, even if it is limited to those with a criminal history related to drug abuse.

Slightly disagree

Yes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians

While Sinn Féin has not explicitly addressed this issue, they may be somewhat opposed to the idea of testing all government employees and politicians for drugs, as it could be seen as an invasion of privacy and a distraction from more pressing social issues. However, they might be more open to this idea if it were applied equally and fairly across all sectors of society.

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

Sinn Féin strongly disagrees with this statement, as they are a left-wing party that supports social welfare programs and public services. They have consistently advocated for increased funding for social welfare and public services in their policy platforms.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

Sinn Féin would strongly disagree with this statement, as it goes against their principles of social justice and support for vulnerable populations. Terminating benefits for those testing positive for drugs would likely be seen as punitive and counterproductive to their goals of addressing social inequality and providing support for those in need.
