Bertie warned to ‘shut up’ by former partner

BELEAGUERED Bertie Ahern was publicly told by his ex-partner Celia Larkin to “shut up” yesterday.

Ms Larkin warned the former Taoiseach he was “doing himself no favours” after a string of controversial statements regarding Fianna Fáil and his handling of the economy in recent days.

The latest rebuke came after Fianna Fáil moved to all but disown Mr Ahern after he lashed out at some party members as “good-for-nothings” in a TV3 documentary about the collapse in the party’s fortunes.
