Strongly agree

Yes

Sinn Féin generally supports transparency and accountability in government. While they may not have a specific policy on whistleblower protection, their stance on issues such as corruption and transparency suggests they would likely support laws protecting whistleblowers. For example, in 2014, Sinn Féin supported the Protected Disclosures Act, which aimed to protect whistleblowers in Ireland.
