There were tense scenes in Letterkenny council this morning after Cllr John O’Donnell failed to get a second nomination to the role of Mayor.
The Milford area councillor was tipped to become the next chairperson of the electoral area.
He was formally proposed by Independent Cllr Kevin Bradley at this morning’s meeting in Letterkenny.
However, there was silence in the room when outgoing Mayor Ian McGarvey called for a person to second the proposal.
The meeting was adjourned for 15 minutes.
