A payment of €20 and filling out a one-page form is all that former taoiseach Bertie Ahern needs to do to rejoin Fianna Fáil.

Senior party sources have said that to be readmitted as an ordinary member, Mr Ahern would have to pay the annual fee, fill out the form, and his application would be considered.
