The Labour Party in Ireland has traditionally been a supporter of social justice and equality. They believe in the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' and that everyone should have access to legal representation, regardless of their financial situation or past criminal record. However, they may not fully agree as they might also support some restrictions or conditions.

No, deny after first crime
