Jonathan Dowdall received more than €15,000 in salary and expenses from Dublin City Council in his short stint as a Sinn Fein councillor, we can reveal.
The father-of-four, who also owned an electrical company at the time which employed 12 people, was paid a Representational Payment of €11,981.26 between May 2014 and his resignation on February 15, 2015. The payment is a councillor’s salary and is paid on a fortnightly basis.
Dowdall, right, who was sentenced to four years in prison in October after he pleaded guilty to facilitating the murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in 2016, also claimed a further €3,310.79 for “meeting expenses”.
