Tribunal questions - Government arrogance is contemptible

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern used the power of the Government to block Dáil questions yesterday in relation to the recent report of the Moriarty Tribunal.

Instead of taking questions, he delivered a statement that raised more questions than it answered.

Mr Ahern endorsed the report, expressing a degree of surprise at “the sheer scale” of the amount of money that Charles J Haughey was able to acquire for his own use from 1979 to 1996.
