Ahern: 'FF can be true heirs of 1916 Rising'

The Fianna Fáil party can become the true heirs to the 1916 Rising, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said tonight.

Mr Ahern told 600 delegates at the Ogra Fianna Fáil conference in Ennis that his party can build a new republic that the Easter rebellion leaders had dreamed of.
