Pro-Kosovo Ahern — and a Turkey — fail to ruffle Belgrade’s feathers

AN TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern admitted he did not support Dustin the Turkey in the Eurosong final but he pledged to respect the people’s choice.

Speaking at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Mr Ahern said: “It’s a democratic Irish vote that we be represented by a Turkey and I have to support that decision.

“I personally know the number two on the night so I was not rooting for Dustin. Leona [Daly] grew up with my daughters and she did very well.”
