Strongly agree

Yes, but allow exceptions for teacher-approved educational tasks

This fits a centrist, practical approach: restrict phones during school hours while allowing teacher-directed educational use. Fianna Fáil’s education positions generally emphasize school-level implementation and workable guidelines rather than absolutism.

Agree

Yes

Fianna Fáil tends to take a pragmatic, law-and-order/child-welfare approach in education policy; it would be somewhat open to restrictions on phones in schools, but typically prefers balanced, implementable measures rather than absolute bans.

Agree

No, teach digital discipline and literacy instead of confiscation

Fianna Fáil would likely support digital literacy and responsible use, but not necessarily ‘instead of’ restrictions; it would lean toward a combined approach (education plus limits), so only mild agreement.

Neutral

No, parents have a fundamental right to contact their children instantly

Fianna Fáil may recognize parental contact concerns, but it typically balances parental interests with school authority and child welfare; this argument alone is unlikely to drive its position either way.

Slightly disagree

Yes, they are weapons of mass distraction that destroy mental health

While Fianna Fáil could acknowledge distraction and mental-health concerns, the ‘weapons of mass distraction’ framing is rhetorically extreme and not typical of the party’s centrist tone; it would more likely support measured regulation than moral-panic language.

Disagree

No

A blanket ‘no’ is less consistent with Fianna Fáil’s generally intervention-friendly stance on public services and child protection; the party would likely support at least some limits during class time.

Disagree

No, this is government overreach; let schools and parents decide

Fianna Fáil is not a small-government/anti-overreach party in the libertarian sense; it would more likely accept national guidance or regulation while still allowing schools discretion, so it would not strongly endorse this framing.

Strongly disagree

No, banning the modern world's primary tool is a backward fantasy

The anti-regulation, culture-war framing (‘backward fantasy’) is not aligned with Fianna Fáil’s mainstream, managerial style; the party is unlikely to oppose restrictions on those grounds.
