Yes

Fine Gael has shown support for extending voting rights to Irish citizens abroad and in Northern Ireland. In 2019, the party, then in government, proposed a referendum to extend the presidential vote to the Irish diaspora. However, the score is not a full 5 because there has been some internal debate within the party about the extent and conditions of such a change.
