Finian McGrath Biography

Birthday	Apr 9
Birth Year	1953

Finian McGrath is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on April 9, 1953 in Tuam, County Galway, Ireland. He was born to Tuam, County Galway, in 1953. He studied at University College Dublin. He was an elementary school principal for the Scoil Plas Mhuire for Boys in Dublin prior to entering politics. He was the father of two daughters to his wife Anne who passed away on November 9, 2009. McGrath was an actor for his You’re a Star charity special in summer 2005, in which McGrath placed second. He released a single for charity in December of 2005. The single included the Christmas tune “Angels We Have Heard on High” and the well-known “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown”. All the proceeds of the single were donated towards Down syndrome Ireland.

As an independent member of the Dail’s 30th, McGrath pledged his support for the government that was formed during June of 2007. By doing so McGrath struck a deal in a deal with Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, which McGrath made public by putting the deal in the Dail record. The public announcement was welcomed by many people who had criticized other Independent TDs like Michael Lowry and Jackie Healy-Rae for keeping similar deals a secret. On October 20, 2008, after the release of 2009’s Budget, McGrath withdrew his support to the government in protest at the removal of the automatic medical card for those over 70, the reduction in education, as well as the increasing of the ratio between teacher and pupil. After the appointment of Pearse Doherty in Dail, Dail, McGrath joined the Technical group, made up of Sinn Fein deputies and the Independent Maureen O’Sullivan. He was reelected in the general election of 2011 in which he was elected chairman for the Technical group.

During the 2011 presidential election, McGrath initially agreed to support Senator David Norris for nomination as a candidate. On 2 August, Norris publicly announced at a press conference that he was withdrawing from the presidential race. This followed the decision of McGrath, and the TDs John Halligan and Thomas Pringle to withdraw their support following revelations that Norris had written a letter to an Israeli court asking clemency for his former partner Ezra Nawi, who was then facing criminal charges. Norris withdrew his candidacy on 2 August due to the controversy. Sinn Féin proposed Martin McGuinness for their nomination for a presidential candidate. McGrath agreed, along with four other independent TDs, to sign McGuinness’s nomination paper.

McGrath resigned as chair of the technical group in October 2012, after a dispute with Mick Wallace, over Wallace’s participation in the loose alliance related to speaking rights in the Dáil. He joined the Independent Alliance at its inception in 2016. He contested the 2016 general election under that banner, in Dublin Bay North owing to the abolition of Dublin North-Central. He was re-elected to the Dáil and then entered talks on government formation. On 6 May 2016, he entered Government with Fine Gael, under Taoiseach Enda Kenny, as Minister of State for Disability Issues. McGrath was also appointed a “Super Junior Minister”, meaning he attends cabinet meetings but cannot vote.

McGrath was elected for the Dail’s 30th seat in the general election of 2007 which shattered predictions that the Dail would be lost because of the losing a seat in the district. McGrath was able to secure a number of transfers from Sinn Fein and Labour Party candidates.
