According to [Djokovic and Maizan][1], the Specht module $V_{(3, 1, 1)}$ of $S_5$ is monomial. This is a representation of dimension $6$, induced from a representation of dimension $3$ of $A_5$. Since $A_5$ has no subgroup of index $3$ (see [here][2] for example), this representation of $A_5$ cannot be monomial.
