The Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) has confirmed that a review is underway following a recent election that was held at its Donegal branch.
The defeated candidate in the Donegal election Peter Lynch, a Newtowncunningham farmer, had called for last month’s ballot to be declared null and void.
Mr Lynch had alleged that fundamental IFA rules were broken in the run-up to the election.
According to Lynch, the IFA’s national treasurer and returning officer, Martin Stapleton, was made aware of these concerns some days before the election was due to take place.
Lynch made a formal complaint to the IFA in relation to the election on February 13.
