Tight-lipped Bertie does lunch with Royston as Martin dines on humble pie

WHILE Martin Cullen was eating humble pie, Bertie Ahern was eating his lunch.

Or maybe that should be Royston Brady’s lunch, as the Taoiseach was attending a fundraiser for the Lord Mayor of Dublin’s European election campaign as the electronic voting fallout began.

It’s heartening to know that despite embarking on one of the pivotal weekends of his career, The Bert still has time to dedicate to his protegé’s ambitions.
