Fine Gael Party

Agree

Yes

Fine Gael, as a centre-right political party in Ireland, has shown a willingness to support public health measures, especially when they align with broader public health goals. Historically, the party has supported initiatives aimed at improving public health outcomes, such as the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill, which included measures like minimum unit pricing and health labeling on alcohol products. While the party tends to support free market principles, it has demonstrated that it can back regulatory measures for health reasons. Banning the promotion of products that contribute to unhealthy lifestyles for young people, such as vaping and junk food, could be seen as a continuation of these public health efforts. However, the score is not higher because the party's commitment to free market principles might make it somewhat cautious about outright bans, preferring instead to focus on regulation and education.

Disagree

No

While Fine Gael generally supports free market principles and the rights of businesses to operate with minimal government interference, the party has also shown a willingness to enact or support legislation that protects public health, especially among young people. This indicates that while there might be some reluctance to outright bans due to the party's economic principles, the health and well-being of the population, particularly children and teenagers, could take precedence in this context. The negative score reflects the party's balancing act between supporting business freedoms and protecting public health, but with a lean towards the latter in cases where the health of young people is at stake.
