Yes, and eliminate federal agencies that are unconstitutional

Fianna Fáil is an Irish political party, and the concept of 'unconstitutional federal agencies' is not applicable in the Irish context. Additionally, the party generally supports a strong role for the government in providing public services, making it unlikely they would advocate for eliminating government agencies.
