Disagree

No, but hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

This answer is not applicable to the Irish political context, as Ireland does not have a state-level system like the United States. Fianna Fáil operates within the national government of Ireland.
