Wallace Gives Up Demand To Rejoin Technical Group
Embattled Independent TD Mick Wallace has pulled back from his attempt to rejoin the Technical Group, after growing concerns his approach would "bust" their alliance.
Mr Wallace withdrew his demands after meeting with leading members of the group over the last few days.
It came as deputies slated Mr Wallace for his "arrogance" amid fears his approach would lead to the loose grouping of TDs splitting up entirely.
The group of Independents last night met again to discuss Mr Wallace's attempts to rejoin.
This followed meetings yesterday morning involving TDs Mr Wallace, Shane Ross, group whip Catherine Murphy, and chairman Finian McGrath.
Wallace left the group after being listed as a tax defaulter in June, owing €2.1m to the Revenue Commissioners in respect of a false declaration of his M&J Wallace construction company.
