During the 1918 elections McGrath canvassed for the party in Waterford city and moved to more militant activities in 1920, serving with D Company 4th Battalion East Waterford Brigade I.R.A. In January 1921 he was selected to take part in an ambush on British troops at Pickardstown near Tramore. A feint attack on Tramore police barracks was designed in order to draw a British relief force from Waterford where they would be attacked by members of the East and West Waterford Brigade.

Signed by Gusty Spence on behalf of the UVF and John McKeague of the RHC. Single page letter from the Bishop of Connor relating to prison conditions.7pp account from the UVF on discussions held with the Provisional IRA in 1974. The memo claims that first contact was made in January of that year after a vote was made by the organisation`s hierarchy to open talks. Journalists Kevin Myers and Vincent Browne were approached and the first encounter took place in a lodge at Lough Sheelin in Co Cavan which was guarded by IRA men with submachine guns. Ruairí Ó Brádaigh was notably absent from this meeting as he “could not elude his Special Branch `tail`“. The meeting was remarkably frank and both sides put forward their opinions with the UVF stating that the loyalist population would not accept a united Ireland, a consensus which they were obligated to respect. While Dáithí Ó Conaill explained the idea of the Éire Nua political strategy and raised the possibility of discussing a “peaceful co-existence” in Ulster in follow-up meetings. The account goes on to describe that next meeting which took place in McCabes Hotel, Mountnugent, County Cavan. The main emphasis of this meeting was on what could or could not be deemed as acceptable and legitimate targets in armed conflict. The UVF asked the IRA that “they should direct their bombs and bullets against the armed British forces, British civil servants and other agents of the Crown, and not against the Ulster businessman and worker.” while Loyalists should “only direct their war materials against those who are determined to sell them out”. Martin McGuinness who was present at the meeting is described as “o/c Derry Provisional IRA” and was challenged by the UVF who asked “what objectives he had in mind when he ordered the bombings of shops, bakeries and other small businesses in Derry”. Opinions and remarks were exchanged on each point that was raised and remarkably the discussions went onto cover the possibility of joint paramilitary checkpoints to prevent sectarian assassinations on innocent individuals, joint intelligence liaison to combat the SAS and joint policy relating to attacks on public areas. Some agreements were made but further talks were prevented after the news of the meetings were leaked and the agreements were rejected by other members of the UVF. The document concludes with a poignant note that the talks “could have led to a better understanding and to a permanent ceasefire. There need not have been any loss of principle. But the super-Prods would not wear it...”. There would be over 20 more years of bloodshed and violence before the Good Friday Agreement.12 typescript orders and official UVF correspondence issued and signed by `Gusty Spence` in Long Kesh to the members of the UVF.
