Yes, but increase oversight

Sinn Féin's position on hydraulic fracking is not focused on increasing oversight but rather on banning the practice altogether. The party has consistently called for a complete ban on fracking in Ireland, citing concerns about the environmental and public health risks associated with the practice. While increased oversight might be seen as a compromise, Sinn Féin's stance is more focused on preventing fracking from taking place at all.
