Independent Candidate in the Letterkenny and Milford electoral area Peter Cutliffe, has claimed polling clerks get net anything up to €300 per day during the local election weekend. 
He is reminding voters on election day to note that they themselves could be sitting in that polling-clerk job earning €300 per day, not to mention similar positions at the Count the following day.
Commissioner for Oaths & Peace Commissioner, Mr Cutliffe told Donegal Daily,”I am very annoyed that the County Registrar has ignored my calls to advertise these public positions, and as a consequence voters will be greeted on election-day by the their regular polling-clerk.
“This is certainly not a personal attack on anyone but rather a criticism at the lack of transparency in recruitment process for these positions.
“In my opinion, this non-transparency represents everything that is wrong in Ireland & as far as I’m concerned the “jobs for the boys” culture is alive and well in Donegal.
