The former Finance Minister has been announced as the EU Justice Commissioner.
A Midlands North West MEP doesn't believe voting against Ursula von der Leyen in July went against Michael McGrath in securing an economic portfolio.
The former Minister for Finance was announced as the EU Justice Commissioner this week, despite the government pushing for a more senior ranking in the economic portfolio.
Von der Leyen says around 20 countries were pitching for a small number of economic briefs.
Fianna Fáil MEP, and former Offaly TD, Barry Cowen disputes the claim the vote went against his party colleague:
