Wall claims he never discussed rent with Ahern

Manchester businessman Michael Wall has told the Mahon tribunal that there was no discussion of rent with Bertie Ahern before he bought a house, which the former Taoiseach rented from him in the 1990s, in Drumcondra, Dublin.

Mr Wall has told the tribunal that he discussed his intention to buy a house in Dublin with Bertie Ahern a number of months before the purchase took place.
