A story published on Donegal Now stated that it was made clear any Donegal media were unwelcome at the event.

They added that a Donegal-native, but Fermanagh-based freelance journalist was told he wouldn't be allowed in if he was filing copy for any Donegal paper.

He attended the press conference but was refused an on-the-record explanation from county board officials, the report claimed.
