Three of the five Municipal District Councils in Donegal have elected a Cathaoirleach for the upcoming year, and all of them are from Sinn Fein.
As part of what’s understood to be a voting agreement, Sinn Fein now hold the position of Cathaoirleach in the Glenties, Donegal and Lifford-Stranorlar Municipal Districts.
Cllr John Seamais Ó Fearraigh is Cathaoirleach of the Glenties MD, and Cllr Noel Jordan has been appointed to the position in the Donegal MD.
Meanwhile Cllr Gary Doherty was chosen for the position in Lifford-Stranorlar.
Cllr Doherty had an eventful first day as Cathaoirleach, as Cllr Frank McBrearty raised a number of concerns in a fiery first MD meeting of the year.
