Ahern brothers rally to defend Taoiseach

THE brothers of Taoiseach Bertie Ahern have once more rallied to his defence, describing certain Mahon Tribunal questioning as “sick”, and insisting Mr Ahern will remain in office until 2011.

The Taoiseach refused to take questions from reporters on tribunal issues at a public engagement in Croke Park yesterday.

But his brothers spoke out on his behalf.
