Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Sinn Féin has been supportive of Ireland's role in the European Union and has advocated for increased cooperation among EU member states. They might therefore be supportive of a European military defense system as a means of promoting peace and stability in the region.

Agree

Decrease

Slightly agree

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Sinn Féin might be somewhat agreeable to maintaining the current level of military spending, especially if it allows for more funds to be directed towards their priority areas such as social services. However, this is not a strong stance within the party.

Disagree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced
