Ryan refuses to pass judgement on Ahern evidence

The Green Party's Eamon Ryan is today refusing to pass judgement on the Taoiseach's performance at the Mahon Tribunal in recent days.

Fine Gael is considering tabling a motion of no confidence in Bertie Ahern following his appearance in the witness box, while the Labour Party is calling on him to resign.

Mr Ryan, however, refused to be drawn on the matter when questioned by reporters today.

He repeated that the judgement should be reserved until the tribunal completes its investigations.
