Disagree

Yes, but after 3 months of claiming

Sinn Féin's opposition to policies that force people to work for their benefits suggests they would likely disagree with this proposal. However, the fact that this option only requires unpaid community work after 3 months of claiming benefits might make it slightly more acceptable to them compared to other options that impose work requirements immediately.
