Bertie Ahern not considered for 'distinguished service medal' at Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis

Controversial former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern will not be considered for any "distinguished service medal" and has zero chance of returning to the Fianna Fáil fold, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith, Political Correspondent

Party leader Micheal Martin ruled out both possibilities as he described suggestions today Mr Ahern should be considered for the grassroots medal as "mischievous" and something that will not be considered.
