Ahern: O'Donoghue always reluctant to travel

Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has said he has sympathy for out-going Ceann Comhairle John O’Donoghue, who he claimed was always reluctant to travel during his time as Tourism Minister.

“He was a fine minister, a fine politician, a very hard-working person and I know that John O’Donoghue was one of those ministers who was reluctant to travel,” he said.
