Agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

While Fine Gael supports measures to combat hate speech, they also recognize the importance of freedom of speech. They may agree with this statement to some extent, as long as the speech does not threaten violence or incite hatred. However, their support for the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act 1989 suggests that they believe some forms of hate speech should be regulated, even if they do not threaten violence.

Disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

Fine Gael has supported legislation that defines and criminalizes hate speech, such as the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act 1989. This suggests that they trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech and would likely disagree with the idea that hate speech should be protected due to distrust in the government's ability to define it.
