Agree

No

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

This answer aligns with a view towards rehabilitation and the value of human life, principles that can be associated with Irish Republicanism's broader human rights concerns.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While this stance attempts to balance justice with caution, Irish Republicanism's historical skepticism of state power and its potential for abuse might make the ideology wary of even limited applications of the death penalty, fearing miscarriages of justice and the potential for oppressive use.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Irish Republicanism, with its roots in fighting for independence and the rights of the Irish people, generally emphasizes human rights and political freedom. The use of the death penalty would be contrary to the ideology's historical emphasis on fighting against what it has seen as oppressive or unjust systems, such as British rule over Ireland.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment could be seen as antithetical to the principles of justice and the rule of law, concepts that Irish Republicanism, despite its revolutionary roots, has sought to uphold in its vision for an independent Ireland. This approach could also be seen as potentially leading to arbitrary and emotionally driven decisions, which would be in conflict with the ideology's broader goals of justice and fairness.
