Three councillors who were told by the internal Fine Gael inquiry that they still had questions to answer over payments from property developers last night issued statements taking issue with its findings.
Ms Anne Devitt said she was seeking legal advice over the inquiry's conclusions.
In a statement, she said she was "appalled" that her integrity "has been brought into question as a result of the way the findings of the Fine Gael internal investigation were released".
"I have no option but to seek legal advice on the matter. Over the years the way I carried out my duties as a Fine Gael councillor and how I represented my constituents have always been above reproach. I will leave no stone unturned, therefore, until I have my name cleared," the statement added.
In his statement, Mr Cathal Boland said he was "perplexed" by the inquiry's conclusions. He said he had learned of the findings via an RTE news bulletin.
"It was and is my understanding that information provided to the Flood tribunal is confidential. I informed the Fine Gael inquiry of this fact and that I was not prepared to furnish them with details of my confidential statement," he said.
Mr Boland "emphatically" denied voting under undue influence with either Dublin County Council or Fingal County Council. He had not been in attendance at meetings when the Quarryvale development was voted on and actively campaigned against the rezoning of Baldoyle racecourse.
Former Fine Gael councillor Mr Tom Morrissey, now a member of the Progressive Democrats, described the inquiry as a "charade" and said he was appalled at the manner in which the report was presented.
"I am appalled and dismayed by the presentation in a report published this evening of the evidence which I volunteered to the Fine Gael inquiry . . . at a 15-minute hearing on Wednesday.
"The meeting I attended was a charade. I confirmed to it that I was a strong opponent of Quarryvale and voted against the development, and that I had never received any money from Frank Dunlop," he said in his statement.
"I wish to put in on the record now, albeit reluctantly, that every effort I made as a Fine Gael councillor to have the party inquire into some mysterious rezoning decisions in my area during the 1990s was met with indifference by the party hierarchy," he said.
"I told the meeting last Wednesday that I did, indeed, receive an unsolicited donation of £2,000 during the Dublin West by-election in 1996 and it was used for vouched election expenses. All the particulars relating to that payment have been fully disclosed by me in a recent meeting with the Flood tribunal.
"In addition, I have also passed on to the Flood tribunal information which I have about an attempt made by a developer to offer me a substantial financial donation in return for supporting a project in west Dublin back in 1996.
"I attended the Fine Gael inquiry in all good faith, conscious that, while I was no longer a member of that party, I had been group leader of Fine Gael on the council up until 1997 and felt obliged to divulge any relevant information I had in relation to their inquiry.
"I believe now that my attendance has been manipulated by Fine Gael for their own naked political motives."
Senator Liam Cosgrave, also singled out by the inquiry, rejected suggestions that donations they received were in exchange for votes.
