Fianna Fáil to ask Bertie Ahern to rejoin party

Controversial former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern could be set to rejoin Fianna Fáil after his former branch unanimously backed a motion seeking his return as he "deserves a second chance", writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith, Irish Examiner.

The chairman of Fianna Fáil Dublin Central Brian Mohan confirmed the highly divisive move last night after taking part in a "deep, meaningful discussion" with 30 other local members at the Skylon Hotel.
