Councillor admits faking letter from Taoiseach

A Fianna Fáil county councillor today admitted full responsibility for a false letter signed by the Taoiseach which was sent to voters before polling day.

Some 2,000 Oireachtas envelopes containing letters, purportedly signed by Mr Ahern, were circulated in Co Wexford urging voters to give their first preferences to Councillor Lorcan Allen.
