Ahern fears bankruptcy over Mahon verdict

FORMER Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has claimed the Mahon Tribunal could bankrupt him if it does not find in his favour.

Mr Ahern claimed he only got into trouble with the tribunal because multi-millionaire developers fell out and it had the effect of blackening his name.

He said defending himself in the tribunal “cost me probably everything I had and everything I’d saved”.
