Councillor John O'Donnell on the RTE documentary.
A total of 40% of Donegal County Councillors say Independent Councillor John O’Donnell should resign following allegations arising from the RTÉ Investigates programme.
The research was carried out by RTÉ RnaG in Donegal yesterday, and revealed that all nine Sinn Féin councillors said that O’Donnell should resign, and that there was a need for an emergency meeting on the matter.
Fianna Fáil councillors were reluctant to call for his resignation.
Of the six independent councillors contacted, five said O’Donnell should resign.
RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta contacted 30 councillors yesterday by phone, not all of whom responded.
The councillors were asked two questions – whether O’Donnell should resign, and whether there was a need for a special meeting about the matter.
This report was featured this morning on the Adhmhaidin programme on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta.
