A Technical Group is where a group of T.D.’s and Senators from different political positions come together to share speaking time. If you have 7 members you can get Leaders Questions, Priority Questions and powers to bring forward legislation. It is NOT an alliance, coalition or coming together on policy matters.
It is a technical arrangement for speaking time. Some Politician's and some media often try to misrepresent this like they did in the past with Finian’s human rights work.
