Pressure grows on councillor John O’Donnell to resign

A special meeting of Donegal County Council has passed a motion calling for the resignation of embattled fellow councillor John O’Donnell.

The Independent politician is fighting to save his political career after last Tuesday’s RTÉ Investigates programme.

The programme alleged that the Kilmacrennan councillor asked for payment in return for helping out a fictitious windfarm company set up in Donegal.
