Biography

McGrath has been a TD since first elected in 2007. He was formerly a member of Fianna Fáil.

Question time
Why should someone vote for you?

I’m an honest, straight-talking and hard-working individual. I think voters deserve integrity.

What is your number one priority for your constituency?

Red-line issues for me are the neglect of old, vulnerable and disabled people in the community. Mental health is important as well.

What one thing would you like to do in your first 100 days of the new Dáil if you are elected?

I want to see fairness for hard-working families.
