AUDIO: Bertie sent a ‘rope with a noose’

Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern was sent a “rope with a noose” in the aftermath of the economic crash, but has continued to reject claims that he is responsible for what happened.

The former Fianna Fáil leader revealed the “vicious” hate mail during an hour-long radio interview yesterday.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Sunday With Miriam programme, Mr Ahern echoed his bank inquiry performance last Thursday by refusing to accept he played a full role in the crash.
