thanks for clearing that up.

I really wish some radio interviewer would go through that list, detail by detail in front of a FF junior minister (seeing as ahern and the senior cabinet are all avoiding the media), and then ask him/her if they have no doubts at all about ahern's finances.


(of course they would slime out of it by saying 'its not my place to judge, that's a job for mahon...'

Just to let you know that i have contacted every FF TD/MEP and Senator and asked them as to whether they can explain any of this.

[Supermanpolitician]

Pfkf1...of course they can't explain it to you. I have a better understanding of sub-atomic physics than they have of honesty. They will relish giving you the two fingers.

[Auditor #9]

Could a moderator make this a sticky at the top of the Tribunal forum please? It's sorta important.

I know they will, but now none of them can claim this issue hasn't been raised with them.

Would it be of any use to add information to this file showing how each payment or account was discovered by the Tribunal? The B/T account for example was discovered because the Tribunal followed a cheque made out to Ahern from Davy Stockbrokers in 1993.
