TDs take a shot at Bertie’s flash snaps

BERTIE Ahern has landed himself in a spot of bother for paying over €30,000 of taxpayers’ money to photographers to take flattering photos of him on various world trips.

Querying the payment, Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny suggested Mr Ahern was already well enough known around the country so the expenditure could be in line for a cutback.

But his erstwhile FG colleague Denis Naughten wanted further information on the payout.
