Ahern hits back over German interview on Mahon Tribunal

Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern has hit back at a German TV show which he claims failed to “honour” the terms agreed for an interview from which he got up and walked out in protest.

Mr Ahern was confronted with questions about his personal finances and the Mahon planning tribunal scandal, but refused to answer.

The video of the DW Conflict Zone interview went viral and journalist Tim Sebastian says the show had warned Mr Ahern’s office of other questions he could face, as well as ones relating to the Good Friday Agreement.
