An unpublished report into accusations of planning corruption in Donegal remains “an open sore”, a government TD has said.

The Mulcahy Report was completed in June 2017 but has not been published, despite changes of minister and government. It is understood the report is unlikely to come to Cabinet within the lifetime of this government due to concerns over the nature of the findings and fears that some may be defamatory. Sources have said that only a small number of report copies are in circulation.
