Bertie back in the frame at Leinster House

VISITORS and politicians ambling through Leinster House next month may be surprised by the reappearance of Bertie Ahern.

Like him or not, Bertie Ahern is set to be immortalised in the Houses of the Oireachtas when a portrait of the three-time taoiseach is hung alongside his predecessors.

Ahead of the expected publication of the Mahon Tribunal report in the autumn, which investigated Mr Ahern’s personal finances, the portrait will be hung while TDs are on their break.
