Clouds over Bertie as election draws near

Bertie Ahern today faces a politically damaging allegation that he received £80,000 from property developer Owen O’Callaghan to help block a rival’s project.

BERTIE AHERN won’t be called to the Mahon Planning Tribunal before the General Election is held on May 24.

However, Sligo-born developer Tom Gilmartin’s central allegation will continue to cast a shadow over the political hustings.
