Fianna Fáil has shown some support for the reform of the Seanad, including making it more democratic. For example, in 2013, they campaigned against the abolition of the Seanad, arguing that it should be reformed instead. However, they have not explicitly called for it to be a wholly elected body, hence the score is not at the maximum.

Disagree
No
Fianna Fáil has generally been in favor of reforming the Seanad to make it more democratic, which suggests they would not be in favor of maintaining the status quo where the Seanad is not a wholly elected body. However, as they have not explicitly called for a wholly elected Seanad, they do not strongly disagree with this statement either.
