A new political party, led by TDs Michael Collins, Richard O'Donoghue, Michael Fitzmaurice, and Ken O'Flynn, is involved in a dispute with Mr. McGrath regarding his potential membership in their technical group. This group, which allows Independent TDs more speaking time, responded to Mr. McGrath's inquiry after Christmas, stating they had secured their required members and could not accept him. Mr. McGrath vehemently denied their claims, suggesting their motives were financial and aimed at gaining taxpayer funding.
Total and utter untruth," said Mr McGrath on Tipp FM on Tuesday. "I'm not surprised from the group we're talking about, they're supposed to be independent."
Independent Ireland said Mr McGrath reached out to the party "only after his own attempt to form a technical group failed" and that they had already secured their required members.
