However, on September 24, 2010, he declared that he would not be supporting for the government because of cuts to health care.

In September 2019, Grealish faced criticism and calls to resign after he made comments about asylum seekers, described by some commentators as racist, which described all African asylum seekers as “spongers.” The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, after being told during an interview what Grealish had said, remarked “If that’s what he said, he should withdraw those remarks and make a statement on it and clarify them.” Fellow Independent TD Michael Collins defended Grealish in a radio interview, in which he claimed Ireland was “losing its culture” because of immigrants and suggested that Ireland should “look after our own people first and then when that issue is sorted, let’s start looking at people from across the world”. For this, both he and Grealish were criticised in Irish political circles, with Labour leader Brendan Howlin calling the pair “highly dangerous”, while Irish President Michael D. Higgins, while not directly referencing them, publicly rejected their rhetoric, suggesting it was not factual that Immigrants were replacing people in Ireland, and that Immigrants accounted for a high percentage of Ireland’s GDP.

Grealish courted further criticism on 12 November 2019, when he claimed in the Dáil that immigrants in Ireland were sending vast sums of money out of the country, and singled out Nigerian residents in Ireland, claiming they were sending €3.5 billion in funds back to relatives in Nigeria. Grealish went on to suggest this amount could have been generated by crime. Ruth Coppinger rose to her feet and called Grealish’s remarks “Disgraceful racism”. Responding to his question, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar called on Grealish to present “any evidence” that the funds were generated by crime, while also citing the long history of Irish emigrants sending money back to Ireland. The Central Statistics Office of Ireland debunked his reading of the statistics on 13 November 2019, correcting him by stating the amount being sent back was only €17 million. Furthermore, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe called on Grealish to clarify why he focused specifically on Nigerians and to justify his presentation of his figures. Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy said he did not like what Grealish was insinuating and referred to his rhetoric as “disgusting and potentially dangerous”.
