Mícheál Mac Donncha

Mícheál Mac Donncha (born Michael McConkey)[1] is an Irish Sinn Féin politician who served as the Lord Mayor of Dublin from 2017 to 2018.

[citation needed] He was co-opted onto Dublin City Council in 2011, to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Killian Forde.

[4] Mac Donncha caused controversy in 2015 when he called the people who run Irish rugby "West Brits" (a derogatory term)[5] because the Irish Rugby team uses "Ireland's Call" when playing outside the country.

[6] Mac Donncha contested the 2016 general election as a Sinn Féin candidate in the Dublin Bay North constituency, one of two party candidates, his running mate Denise Mitchell being elected.

It was later discovered that Israeli officials had mistaken an image caption Ardmhéara Mícheál MacDonncha – as his full name.
