Fine Gael Party

Agree

Yes

Fine Gael, being a center-right party, may be open to the idea of the government acquiring equity stakes in companies during a recession, but it would not be their first choice. They would likely prefer other forms of support, such as loans or grants. However, they have shown some willingness to support such measures in the past, such as during the 2008 financial crisis when the Irish government took stakes in several banks.
