Ahern deserves your ire but so do others

WHO is the most reviled man in a State that has been laid to waste by excess and greed?

The candidate who keeps popping into the public consciousness is the fallen leader, Bertie Ahern. But is he getting a raw deal, taking all the heat for landing the country in the mire, while others slink off into a dark corner?

Ahern can’t help shooting himself in the foot every time he ventures out into the public square. Last week, he was the focus of the first part of a TV3 documentary into the rise and fall of Fianna Fáil. Monday’s programme might well have been renamed Bertie, The Deluded Years.
