Editor gets down and dirty in Donegal

FLEET STREET’S ranting tabloid columnists have found their match in Donegal of all places.

Tirconaill Tribune editor John McAteer would leave the tabloid ranters in the shade with his latest attack on Donegal County Council.

Mr McAteer was not a bit pleased to find the press bench in the council chamber overrun at a recent meeting, forcing him to sit on the floor. And instead of filing a routine report on the meeting, Mr McAteer decided to take the officials to task in a damning piece.
