I think you will find when the tribunal reports that Ahern was on the take. Neither can I see them coming to any other conclusion but that he committed perjury. I agree, Haymoon.

Trial by media. - what does that mean ? Just because journalists ask some questions and get answers that don't add up - that's trial by media ? So where does accountability come in ? Are we expected to swallow everything that our rulers come out with without asking questions and expecting the truth in reply ? I'm a bit tired of hearing all about the good things he did while in office. Their is no gainsaying that he has done so but it was his job to do so and he has been well paid to do it. Bertie's situation is entirely of his own making. I must admit that I would be bit surprised to discover that he was "on the take" but the simple fact is that he has told lies in public, including to the tribunal -which amounts to perjury - and has been found out.

Trial by media. – what does that mean ? Just because journalists ask some questions and get answers that don’t add up – that’s trial by media ?

So where does accountability come in ? Are we expected to swallow everything that our rulers come out with without asking questions and expecting the truth in reply ?
