'I won't quit until 2012,' vows Ahern

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today vowed to stay in office until at least 2012 and said he had “never” considered quitting amid controversy over his personal finances.

The Fianna Fáil leader, who is due to face the Mahon Tribunal again next month, said the Revenue Commissioners have to wait until the inquiry reports before they can decide his tax status.
