Harney: 'Ahern needs to address public unease over Mahon'

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern must act now to dispel "considerable public disquiet" about conflicting evidence on his personal finances given to the Mahon Tribunal, Minister for Health Mary Harney said today.

Last week, Mr Ahern's constituency secretary Grainne Carruth contradicted his earlier testimony by accepting she probably lodged sterling cash into accounts held by him and his two daughters in 1994.
