Strongly agree

Yes, but strict banking rules must apply first

They have consistently argued that shared deposit insurance is desirable but must be preceded by strict banking rules and risk reduction, reflecting their cautious approach post-2008 crisis and alignment with the EU's phased approach to banking union.

Agree

Yes, and financial risks cross borders

Fianna Fáil recognizes that financial risks cross borders, as seen during the 2008 financial crisis when Ireland's banking problems had European repercussions. They have argued for collective European solutions to systemic risks, though with appropriate safeguards.

Yes

Slightly agree

No, but crisis coordination should improve

While Fianna Fáil supports improved crisis coordination, they see it as insufficient on its own. They have called for more robust EU mechanisms, including deposit insurance, rather than relying solely on coordination.

Strongly disagree

No, and countries should not pay for foreign bank failures

Fianna Fáil does not support the idea that countries should never share responsibility for banking failures, especially within the eurozone. They have advocated for solidarity mechanisms, provided there are safeguards, and have not taken a nationalist stance against EU-level solutions.
