Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Foreign Policy › European Union
9>9 Personal answerThe EU should be reformed to be more equitable to peripheral economies such as Ireland; the Eurozone, in particular, should be abolished insofar as it takes monetary policy away from democratic states and allows any policy to be vetoed by the German banking establishment. |

Crime › Private Prisons
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy

9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
9>9 Personal answerNo, most citizens couldn’t even pass a citizenship test |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
9>9 Personal answerMuch of Ireland itself is currently a “foreign country.” The Free State’s collaboration with the Thatcherite death squads murdering the families of Republicans in the North was close enough to this and it was a disgrace |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
9>9 Personal answerIf there is no other option, yes, but the government should pursue a policy where no one has to sleep rough and people without homes are offered shelter, physical and mental health care, and a viable path to a healthy and sustainable life |
Education › Free Tuition Fees Scheme
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
9>9 Personal answerNot until greater legal rights are extended to 16 year olds to defend against parental coercion. I am concerned people that live with their parents as minors are at risk of being intimidated to vote a certain way |

9>9 Personal answerYes |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Free Legal Aid

Foreign Policy › Post Brexit UK
9>9 Personal answerThey should rejoin the EU as the alternatives will reduce Britain to a third world country within 20 years |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
9>9 Personal answerNo, but the British and Irish press should not sanitize the most salient of these incidents, which happen in bonfires in loyalist strongholds in the six counties every July. These are hateful, divisive, and ugly spectacles which Irish people not only in the six counties but also in the South and in the diaspora find deeply offensive and we get impatient with coverage of this as a mere community tradition rather than the bigoted supremacist disgrace that it is. |
Domestic Policy › Dáil Participation
9>9 Personal answerYes |
