Cllr McElvaney last night denied any wrongdoing, claiming he knew it was a “sting” but went along with it, as he wanted to expose what he described as an RTÉ “dirty tricks campaign” against him. “I had to make it as juicy as possible or there would be no show and I had to make it quite sexy so I answered all her questions to make her interested,” he told the Irish Independent.
"It takes nerves of steel to do this. I have certainly incriminated myself but I had to do this to expose RTÉ. That’s the type of man I am. Everyone knows I would never take a bribe."
Mr O’Donnell requested that all money be routed through a third party. “Politically there would be a backlash,” he said, "you know the way people are … so many begrudgers out there."
How much did this cost rte?
It seems they contacted a shit load of councillers and went to considersble expense laying a honey trap in front of them.
Gutter journalism. The Donegal man in particular fell for Nina hook line and sinker. You’d wonder the outcome if Nina was replaced by a male journslist.
I hope you’re all happy now. Another good man gone. Fuckin’ youtube brigade off making videos of the poor man. Some people won’t be happy until the world is in ruins.
