Ó Snodaigh digs Ahern over ‘bungs’

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern seemed to accept “bung after bung” in the 1990s, Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh said.

It is unusual for politicians to make such blunt allegations against Mr Ahern outside of the Dáil, as parliamentary privilege no longer applies.

Mr Ó Snodaigh was talking about justice issues when he made the statement, which he attempted to wrap up in a joke.
