“I was very shocked and saddened to see this behaviour in Donegal, especially when they knew that he would most likely be at the match,” said Tom.
“Cllr McMahon is a decent man and one of the hardest working councillors in Donegal. He works very hard for Bundoran.
“Mickey has a heart of gold. He and his family do not deserve to be treated like this.”
There has been a massive outpouring of support for the councillor since the incident on Saturday evening, when a demonstration of 100+ protesters stopped outside his constituency office - which is at his family home - and used a loud hailer asking him to come out.
The councillor was not present, but his wife and members of his family were present.
