‘I have done no wrong and wronged no one’

THE following is an edited version of the statement by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern delivered at Government Buildings yesterday:

“I have been privileged to serve my community, my party and our country for many years in public life. In that period, I am proud to have made a contribution to an unrivalled era of peace, prosperity and progress on this island.

I also want to say that I am humbled to have been entrusted for over a decade with the great responsibility of leading our nation.
