ChatGPT

Agree

No

Given Sinn Féin's focus on expanding public services and social welfare, they are likely to support maintaining or increasing public sector borrowing if it means being able to fund these priorities. Their economic policies, which aim to address inequality and support disadvantaged communities, often imply a willingness to use public finance as a tool for social investment. Therefore, they would likely disagree with policies aimed purely at reducing public sector borrowing if it meant cuts to public spending.
