Taoiseach: I will not resign

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has said today that he will not resign over the latest revelations at the Mahon Tribunal.

It emerged yesterday that the Taoiseach's former partner Celia Larkin received a loan of IR£30,000 from a Fianna Fáil fundraising account to buy a house.

Ahern has said the reason this loan was not repaid until recently is because no demand was made for Ms Larkin to do so.
