Leitrim's Donal Casey survives another night on Traitors Ireland despite suspicions


Leitrim faithful Donal Casey has survived another tense night in the Traitors Castle despite suspicions
Leitrim contestant Donal Casey has survived another tense night in Slane Castle as the Faithfuls scored another major victory on The Traitors Ireland.
The 24-year-old teacher and former intercounty footballer from Leitrim remains in the competition after Sunday's episode, which saw the Faithfuls successfully identify another Traitor, actor and drama teacher, Fionula Linehan.
However, Donal was not completely out of the firing line.
The former Leitrim senior footballer has attracted suspicion from some of his fellow contestants throughout the series, and that continued during the latest episode.
Diego told Denis that he believed Donal could be a Traitor, with Denis admitting that he still had questions about the Leitrim man.
Aoife also revealed that she remained "fixated" on Donal, although she struggled to explain exactly what was making her suspicious of him.
Despite the questions surrounding him, the wider group did not follow suit at the round table.
Aoife remained convinced enough to write Donal's name down, but the majority of the contestants instead turned their attention towards Fionula.
Cork actress Fionula had come under increasing suspicion following the day's sheep herding challenge and was revealed to have been a traitor, prompting celebrations among the faithfuls.
The result means the faithfuls have now successfully caught two traitors in just three round tables, putting increasing pressure on the remaining traitors.
Donal also had an opportunity to win immunity during Sunday's sheep challenge.
He was one of three contestants, alongside fellow faithfuls David and Pete, chosen to attempt to catch a sheep carrying a shield.
However, it was David who managed to secure the shield and immunity from the next murder.
Donal therefore remains vulnerable as the game enters its next stage, although the focus on him appears to have eased for now.
The latest episode ended with another twist, as the remaining Traitors were told there would be no murder that night. Instead, six contestants will be placed on "death row", with the group given an opportunity to save one pair before another faithful is ultimately murdered.
