Searching in vain

After hundreds of hours of forensic probing on his radio programme, it seems Vincent Browne now accepts the Taoiseach has no questions to answer in relation to the Mahon Tribunal’s investigation into the Quarryvale planning controversy.

So now he trawls through Mr Ahern’s house rental and purchase details in the early ‘90s and what he considers a fair price for renovations. Is there no end to his versatility? This is what passes for political discourse from a self-appointed guardian of the public good. It gets more farcical by the day.
