Agree

No, and disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime

While Fine Gael would likely agree with the sentiment of not allowing convicted criminals to run for office, they may not agree with disallowing politicians under investigation. This could potentially infringe on the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty'.

Slightly agree

Yes, as long as the crime was not committed while in office

Fine Gael might somewhat agree with this, as it differentiates between crimes committed in office (which directly relate to a politician's role) and those committed outside of it. However, they would likely still have reservations about a convicted criminal running for office.

Neutral

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence
