Berties alleged dollars ... were they declared ?

[returningpat]

I do remeber whilst living in the US that there was a requirement for any individual leaving the US with more that $10,000 in Cash or other negiotable instruments to declare it on departure by completing a customs form.

I believe that there were substantial penalties for non compliance.

If that was the case, surely there must be a paper trail .

Thats for the Tribunal to sort out

So Ahern seems to have

- lied either to the tribunal or to the public on the 'tears for Bertie' Brian Dobson interview, or to the tribunal
- broke currency rules regarding the transfer of cash
- had a source of income that he seems not to have declared, as he was required to do, under ethics legislation.
- behaved very oddly over the funding of his house
- paid nearly €200,000 to his ex-girlfriend after he broke up with her. (Why on earth is he paying her off?)

Something seriously stinks. Ahern looks more and more like a politically dead man walking.

Those accusing Bertie of 'lies' would do well to remember our libel laws.

- won the election
-maintained broad public support in spite of all of this
- have been denied the due process that he was entitled to
- been given multiple opportunities, should any class of trial ever ensue, to claim that the case has already been prejudiced.

[MuchToDo]

- won the election

Most of the country voted for parties other than his, and he's currently not exactly having a walk in the park trying to get re-elected Taoiseach as a result.

So he didn't win the election then? Interesting.
