Minister Michael McGrath has denied any knowledge of Fianna Fáil trying to stop a pay increase for super junior ministers in 2017.

That is despite statements on the Fianna Fáil website from the time saying the party would block any attempt at a salary top-up for then-Minister Mary Mitchell O'Connor.
