Parting swipe

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern had another swipe at the Mahon Tribunal on Thursday, just one day after he announced his resignation effective from May 6.

It’s a pity Mr Ahern is still behaving in this fashion — in the Dáil he also had a swipe at the tribunal set up by the Oireachtas. This is now on the official record.

What example is this for the ordinary citizen, especially the young and marginalised? Slightly constitutional behaviour, perhaps.
