Ahern sparks jeers over ‘excellent’ electronic voting machines

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern provoked guffaws of laughter in the Dáil yesterday when attempting once more to defend electronic voting machines.

He was responding to Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny, who had listed a string of promises which he claimed the Government had broken.

Among these promises was that the €52 million spent on the electronic voting machines would prove money well spent.
