Bertie unfit to be president of Europe

I AM slightly confused, maybe delusional. We are being asked to ratify the Lisbon Treaty in order to create the post of president of Europe for our current Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern.

In that position he will represent 450 million EU citizens, promote their interests — and articulate the values to which they (and we) aspire.

Leave aside for the moment the fact, certified by the Moriarty Tribunal, that he facilitated — but never acknowledged — the grotesque obscenity of what happened to the late Brian Lenihan’s medical appeal fund.
