Councillor John O’Donnell’s attendance at yesterday’s Municipal district meeting has been met with mixed reaction from his fellow Councillors.
Yesterday when Councillor Dessie Sheils was made aware of Cllr O’Donnell’s presence, he withdrew his motions and walked out of the meeting.
However Cllr. James Pat McDaid says opinion aside, Councillors are obliged to work for the people they represent………….
Meanwhile, Cllr Frank Mc Brearty, the Chair of the Stranorlar Municipal District says he will resign from the Independent grouping on Donegal County Council if Cllr O’Donnell has not been expelled from it by midnight tomorrow.
In a letter to group Chairperson Cllr Michael Mc Bride, Cllr Mc Brearty says he has taken whjat he termed “appropriate legal actions” against Cllr O’Donnell, but he is not comfortable about working with him as part of the Independent grouping.
It would, he concludes, be a slap in the face to the electorate to continue to do so.

FAO the Chairman of the Independent grouping on Donegal Co Co.
