Resignation in the air at Dublin Castle

IRISH politicians won’t thank Eddie O’Sullivan for making resignations fashionable as Bertie Ahern’s tribunal troubles took another turn for the worse this week.

Faced with damning evidence that he had misled the nation with his accounts (of performances), the Irish rugby coach finally took the honourable course of falling on his sword.

Down at the Mahon Tribunal, it’s a parallel universe where Bertie’s buddies who troop through the witness box are more likely to fall down upon their word.
