    Irish Daily Mail on Sunday: Explosive allegations

    Amidst all this election fever I only spotted what Frank Connolly wrote on the front page of today's Daily Mail on Sunday.

    Still have to figure out what it all means (as there is more twists and turns with different amounts of money, more suitcases of cash, an allegation of a USD$45,000 payment), but the paper claims that Bertie Ahern himself admitted to the Tribunal three weeks ago that he received STG£30,000 in CASH in a brief case from Michael Wall to do up the premises which Wall had yet to purchase (the home that Ahern now lives in) in late 1994.

    The paper claims that significant transactions occured through Celia Larkins two bank accounts. The STG£30,000 in cash from Wall was lodged to Larkin's account in Dec 1994.

    Would advise anyone interested to read the article.

    Should all become clearer in tomorrow's opening statement to the Tribunal.

    I read the articles again.

    All I can say, the whole speil about the loans certainly won't stand up because the IR£5,000 cheque written by NCB was for work done by one of Ahern's friends for NCB. The work was never carried out and Ahern pocketed the cheque.

    And to cap this part of the article off, the chap from NCB aint to happy and claims he was NEVER a friend of Bert.

    The Bert should be worried. The good justice may well keep the show going for a couple of weeks. could be Nightmare on Tribunal street . Tom Gilmartin is due in on Tuesday and he has a few scores to settle and try as I might I cant think of a better time.
