Bertie Ahern is due back in the witness box at Dublin Castle this morning for a third consecutive day of questioning about his personal finances in the 1990s.

A MANCHESTER businessman has admitted forgetting to inform the Mahon Tribunal that he had left Bertie Ahern a house in Dublin because he didn’t believe the document that bequeathed the property to him was a will.

A £2,000 STERLING donation from a Manchester businessman to aid a Fianna Fáil election campaign ended up in a bank account specifically set up to fund refurbishment work on Bertie Ahern’s constituency office, it emerged yesterday.

BERTIE Ahern’s purchase of his Drumcondra home was at the centre of fresh controversy last night as questions were raised whether files given to the Mahon corruption probe had been altered.

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern yesterday gave the Mahon Planning Tribunal three different reasons for withdrawing IR£50,000 in cash from a bank account.

IF THE curious saga of Bertie Ahern’s purchase of his Drumcondra home were a children’s story it would be called The Buying, The Stash and The Wardrobe.
