I'm deeply disappointed in my nation's politicians and county councilors. I hope they will face justice.

[@btw484]

Get a haircut ya hippy

[@johnkeating4221]

I imagine this behaviour has been common practice in Irish politics for many decades and this little clip will do little to wean the drug of corruption in our public system.

[@jimmycarrollgodblesspoland5521]

Not aware I’m stupid, sure I haven’t a halfpenny 😂🤣😡

[@SethMcFartlane]

37:30 "I'll be working for them tirelessly." Yep, forget the people, politicians work for themselves and the companies that pay them.

[@shaneoconnor9773]

John is a great worker for donegal, he may be a crook but he is an honest crook just like the rest off them in dublin

[@Irishandtired]

McElvaney saying that he would be a conduit between investors and the people at the site of the wind farm was the most disgusting aspect of it all. I find it shocking that a man who owns a company with a turnover of sixteen million euros would sell his soul for ten grand. It's sad when I think of the patriots who died to put them into politics. McElvaney is a traitor to Ireland and a good poster boy for the current economic situation. If that' what it takes to become wealthy, you can keep it.

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

+Irishandtired He ( McElvaney ) would sell his soul for € 1,000 or even € 100 they do Anything for Money. GREED.

[@Irishandtired]

+sainglain As a National School Nationalist I had a very fine and upright teacher. What nation can withstand an enemy from within? This isn't corruption, this is treason! I am disgusted at how these traitors disrespect men like Tom Clarke with their shilling taking.

[@jackjackson3878]

He disgusting

[@sledge1960]

You'd need a two hour programme for the next two years to scratch the surface, RTE has let that chestnut go for donkeys years, then again, they aren't going to upset Fianna Fail.

[@dermotmurphy6733]

Where I’m a councillor who’d be sued and or imprisoned and kicked out of public life. Very hard to see how so many made the same mistakes. It’s sad and under minds democracy.

[@Neil7026]

How come Senator Denis O'Donovan of Fianna Fáil wasn't exposed in this special. He works as a Solicitor in Bantry Cork and is a Senator which is a conflict of interest. Denis O'Donovan is corrupt and should be incarcerated.

[@Irishandtired]

+Knob Job This RTE/Freemasonic documentary picks low hanging fruit. They attack the individuals instead of the system. I remember RTE interviewing a blogger who recommended BOI stocks before they really crashed. RTE is utter shite. When did they ever call anything ahead of time?

[@Neil7026]

Pat Aherne are you drinking ?

[@carimacavan]

I was not impressed with the journalist's "secret" "undercover" etc. I felt sorry for the first guy, understood the 2nd but by the time the 3rd one had finished I finally understood the Dublin man's disgust. But why did RTE focus on the border counties?

[@patriciamccafferty]

Donegal County Council will do no proper investigation, today 25th Feb 2016 I video recorded the Council meeting when it was adjourned after a large number of citizens attending the meeting wanting to know who are the other 25 to 30 other Councillors that Clr. John O`Donnell referred to in the RTE investigates programme. I was amazed that Mayor of Donegal County Councillor Fianna Fail Clr. Ciaran Brogan tried to say it was against Standing orders to video even though the meeting was adjourned. Clr. Brogan will be one of the individuals who is going to investigate into the allegations in the RTE programme relating to Clr. John O`Donnell. In my opinion Donegal County Council can and will not investigate corruption. Just check out the planning investigations that have been going on for over 20 years

[@rocketman48]

did you notice the cheeky RTE frame on the wall,HA

[@shaneoconnor9773]

No harm in a crook as long as they're an honest crook

[@darrenoconnor3940]

Almost ten years later and it’s worse then ever

They must have great solicitors../ Ganstaaz

[@Euripides_]

I actually thought he was perfectly reasonable until he mentioned his fukin own projects lol

[@NikCan66]

Ex Irish political leaders and scandals.

[@lallyoisin]

does anybody know what to do when you suspect this corruption? is there a complaints board? (that isn't a part of the brown envelope retirement scheme)

[@JanoSlug]

+Oisin Lally If there is you'd be hard pressed to find it.

An they clap for him

[@shaneoconnor9773]

John used too be my local councilor and a great one he was!! Now he is the mayor of our dicecred...RTE is bullshiters ARAABU

[@soundofm1352]

who are these people that say these things -that politicians must "adhere"? what planet are they from?

[@poukkaaganeska1339]

I also cannot understand why our politicians think they can lie to us and continue to get away with it. Personally, I would respect you MORE as a politician if you are firstly honest about what you do and secondly if you are involved with several businesses - you are legally and ethically allowed to have more than one job, it doesn't make you evil or unpopular unless you really are evil with unpopular opinions. No one would have gave a shit had these bastards just told the truth, seriously, no one cares whether your field is a car park or a field, they care if you lie and deceive for reasons that are incomprehensible to the average decent being. It's all about who you know instead of what you know and that'll change pretty soon, the douchebag liars won't even see it coming as they're too busy making up their bs to try make us believe they're ethical, honest and responsible. They couldn't define those terms if the Webster-Merriam dictionary lay open in front of them.

[@123brownjames]

Charlie Haughey was a saint compared to these lot......and I wonder whether the journalists who over these people have ever told the truth 100% of the time and paid their parking tickets.............🤗🇮🇪

[@mairedaly4548]

What a bunch of 'Cute Hoors'. This is embarrasing, and we've become so cynical and brutal to our politicians (because of lads like this) that anyone honest would be eaten up... The amount of bling on McElevany ....

[@kevinbetsy-w9424]

Máire Daly when you see the likes of mcilvaney reelected you realize the republic was a wonderful idea but has failed utterly. The Irish are not fit to govern themselves.

[@shaneoconnor9773]

*filmed by RTE

[@shaneoconnor9773]

John is the best man for Donegal, what odds if he benefits financial from his decisions as long as the country benefits

[@eamonnca1]

Is it just me or does that infernal crackling sound effect make this unwatchable?

[@aimeeargiriu4841]

its hilarious to me, that if the 'normal' person didn't declare certain information the state would come down on them like a TONE OF BRICKS and yet politicians who are meant to know the law of the land 'cant' 'didn't' follow instructions. I want a politician that will love the land and see it prosper and not allow segregation to happen between communities. Where is this politician.. Is this a democracy?? I think politicians get paid far to much, bring salary down and let the people who love the land lead

[@tomsmyth4836]
