Bertie the appeaser must face up to reality

SO the Taoiseach, Mr Ahern, has no hard evidence of who is on the IRA army council.

But isn’t this the same man who climbed every tree in north Dublin and couldn’t find anything on Ray Burke? Isn’t this the same man who signed blank cheques for Charlie Haughey and was never curious enough to ask what they were for?

Let’s face it, Mr Ahern is not a great judge of character.
