Is this the end of Bertie?

Question

Just want to get an opinion from a few Irish folk. Has Bertie Ahern lied to the Tribunal? What do you think the next course of action will be?

Answer 1

Sadly I have to agree with Big Feet. Most people just don't care as long as they think he's delivering the goods. Just like it says in Mary Coughlan's song, "We all like a rogue and we'll make him our leader..."

And Bertie is not famous for courses of action. He'll just keep on

waffling, and Fianna Fail will support him. Maybe Brian Cowan will become leader slightly earlier than he'd otherwise have been, but that's all.

Answer 2

no. he will keep denying it (no matter what the tribunals report says) and he cant be frced to resign (unless FF, the PD's the greens and the Indp. all turn against him - which isnt likely) cos he has a majority in both upper and lower houses and the president (powerless as she is) is a FF person so she wont support any change either.

Answer 3

No but it should be, the feckers gonna get off scot free. We're too nieve over here and people like him can get away with anythin'.

Answer 4

Hopefully...

He will hopefully get impeached.

It's time for sinn fein and PEACE!

Answer 5

What are you people talking about??  Bertie’s been in tougher situations and has come out unscathed.  People don’t care about his integrity; they care about the economy, and Bertie will remain in office until the economy fails.  (or until he gets bored with it all.)
