McGrath stresses Fianna Fáil's role in expanding the State 

Michael McGrath said he believes there is real public 'warmth' for Micheál Martin.

The size of the State must continue to grow, the Finance Minister has said, but has to be underpinned by a greater focus on investment and support for public services.

Michael McGrath told the Irish Examiner he believes that Fianna Fáil's role in the current government has been to push for an expansion of State investment and services and he will seek to continue this in his new role.
