Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has told a grassroots meeting of Fianna Fáil members that an Irish unity referendum should happen by the end of the decade “when the work is done.”

Mr Ahern, who resigned from the party because of the findings of the Mahon Tribunal, addressed a meeting of the ‘Cosmhuintir’ group, attended by several current TDs.
