Opposition call for full statements on Bertie payments

Fine Gael and Labour are repeating calls for the Government to allow a full question and answer session during next Tuesday's Dáil sitting on the matter of payments made to the Taoiseach in the 1990s.

Both parties say reports that the largest payment made to Mr Ahern was by a company cheque from NCB Stockbrokers, raise new issues on the nature of the money the then Finance Minister received.
