MAY I ALSO, give u my best regards for ur candididcy for president.. TY

[kenzee5525]

well said ....

if this was America he would be in jail

[Devilock79]

Bertie is a barefaced liar and a crook. Any fool who credits him with the economic boom need to have a look at how much money the EU threw at this country during his administration. And what did he do with it all? Our schools are an embarrassment, healthcare is a joke. The current recession is because of his complete ineptitude as a leader. He took this country for everything he could. He should be charged with tax evasion at the very least and have his state pension stripped.

[euroman32589]

@Devilock79 well said!

[yourtubed1]

The Irish Mafia.. Pravda..

[MrWhosurdaddy09]

rizla0071.. you say Mr. Ahern is a thief but yet you dont give the theoretical basis on which these grounds can be considered or confirmed, therefore your comment is nothing. May i speak on Mr.Aherns behalf dat he was probably the most honest of ALL politicians in this country and you only have to listen to the man in his thousnads of wonderfulk speeches he has made in the dail before he had no other choice but to resign tanks to d tribunerals hassle.

[rizla0071]

thief

[stevenb19871]

He was great, fuck anyone who thinks he wasn't...

[hpe610]

bertie ahern-pity for this country he was ever BORN!

[ruaraic]

ye are all sad and extremley small minded people. Bertie ahen was the best leader this country ever had since develera,we have enjoyed 15+ years of employment,economic boom,international recognitiion for trade skill,computing skills and mass manufacturing skills. Remember this recesssion is not just in ireland but in ever country in the world. I can appreiciate ye are intitled to ye`re opinons but unless ye have somthing intelligent to say then just dont say it.

[PA3456]

But was that 15 years due to EU funding>

[alandub1]

bertie ahern was a disgrace a real leader shoud always be honest with his or her people , this country need a whole new government a cabinet of well eduacated people who listen to the public and instead of cutting bk we should try spend our way out of the recession this country has gone to bits and it is time for the irsh people to say no more , we need a string leader and we need one now becaue either wwe heal as a nation or we fall as indviduals !!

[irishobserver]

They cant hide it. Listen to Noel Dempsey whispering into Bertie's ear in this clip! Like two cheap crooks......

[sainglain]

uploader videoguysteve, you commented on another video, "but surly it goes against copyright to show work recorded by a tv company", What are you doing here by uploading this??

[videoguysteve]

Yes its an RTE film clip however I upload this as part of my working portfolio. My work takes me to different places around the world and my advice is sought by many

[lucozader]

this is the greatest day in history

i think bertie is a very insencere person

[jediniall1000]

mass cards gimme a break you horrible cunt

[DAVEF05]

philosophers always said people who are not educated shouldnt talk about politics clearly your not educated. your narrow minded and clearly very cynical

[Irishhero32]

[DotsyOO7]

[Paul19Sc]

God bless our AN Taoiseach Bertle Ahern

[cardigan181]

A most corrupt piece of work, he should be jailed!I see Reynolds is to sick to attend a Tribunal, what a corrupt Country, we are a disgrace, Cowen wont be any difference, to much baggage, to many cronies!

[conziborg]

wow Paul19Sc your brainwashed, there not lies, he's a mad conservative who thinks he is a socialist, like wow he was very right wing for most of his time in charge, he got lucky by getting in charge in a boom and had left the country un prepared 4 the current economic situation

[DotsyOO7]

All you birthday lovers are middle class fags whos daughters go to boarding school and buy ok mag to see Bertie bollocks ugly daughter and Nicky closet fag Byrne o tere wedding day, spend a day on the dole in this KIP and you will grow to hate a big nosed rip of crooked cunt who ruined this country for the youth of the future you blind CUNTS.

[pauljjmoran]

wtf is wrong with you??? ye seem like a bit of a prick - not to mention a homophobe

[DotsyOO7]

bye bye CUNT

[timetogo84]

There`s a few key things to consider when judging the legacy of a leader....i.e,Health,Crime,Inf­rastructure,Education. Most of it is as crap as it was when he took office 10 years ago if not worse,with unprecedented levels of capital,never ending supply of money and what did his Government do with it? Piss it up against the wall,he was a joke of a leader....(and I havent even mentioned the fact that he is a corrupt piece of work). Good riddance to bad rubbish!!

[AlbinoW91]

WHAT A MAN!!!!!!!

[willywonka12345678]

u mean wat an asshole

[ccondre]

Good riddance to that fucking knob. See how he set his own daughter up - why ever would that low iq half-wit ever get a book deal. Like Fitzgerald in the 80's when everyone else had to emigrate - his son didn't have to emigrate but he set about making life harder for returning emigrants by fixing the most unrealistic house prices in the world.

[zibberwiff]

I'll be sad to see him go and I hope to God that his replacement will give as much of a shit as he did. A little compassion for the man wouldn't go astray.

Anyone who feels differently, you're myopic moron.

[onlygoodhunsadeadun]

If he did no wrong ? why did he step down ? he accepted money from business men ! hid it all over the place and lied under oath ! and left that poor woman to be dissected at the tribunal , ahern is a miserable excuse for a man!!!! so long you grubby little thief !!! cant wait till the tribunal gets to the real truth about you !!!!!!!!

[ktluvsmcr]

i personally thought he was an amazing taoiseach. I believe him when he says he didnt take any money. he lives in an ordinary house, and has no outward signs of a huge paycheque, so he obviously didnt steal from the government. He was a great taoiseach and i am very sorry to see him go. Slán, Bertie agus go raibh maith agat.

[politictube]

He should step down as TD as well!!!! Your a disgrace to Ireland.

[mauzoma]

sorry to see bertie go, don't know about the allegations but one thing you cannot argue with is that he was a much loved taoiseach and has done alot of good for our country. And what other head figure in government is called primarily by his first name? hehe, man of the people,lol.

[dddfffggg4]

Thanks for all the Memories!

[Xabi1414]

Saying hes corrupt is going too far!! It hasnt been proven yet!!Idiot!! Anyway...im looking forward to the day FF are out anyway!! they are arrogant pricks who seem to favour the rich!! FG...SF Or even labour would have my vote!! Sinn Fein are doing well!

[Misty5001]

No evidence yet that Bertie is corrupt. Dont believe all you read in the SUN and Star etc lads. Lets wait for the evidence before we throw ignorant comments around.

[Xabi1414]

Bang on man!! Read the real news papers please!! Not the ones with page 3!

[579yzx]

Corrupt prick I'm glad he is gone

[digoe04]

you can bad mouth fianna fail all you want but ask yourself this. what has your party ever done for this country .if they do ever take over the foundations have been laid for them. parties will say anything to get people on there side but fianna fail put there money where their mouth was. so no pressure but your party has a hell of a job to before they can even come close to fianna fail. ungreatful, ignorant and stupid people cannot see the good they have done and will continue to do.

[digoe04]

i am simply posting more to get an awareness that most the irish loved this man. with a constant barrage of bad comments about him its time someone stood up for him. youtube is know for idiots with 90% bad comments about everything and anything. so a few comments you agree with does not mean this the the way all the irish think. also what is with all this foreign insults. you dont know who he is never mind what he has done. he took care of you so fuck off idiot. peace, prosperity = bertie ahern.

[hellothere1919]

Fuck him ... if he was in Romania they'd have shot him by now.

[digoe04]

deep down you have to be so proud of this man if you like him or not. anybody with a heart will feel for him. all the good he has done for this country will never be overshadowed by this tribunal. bertie you will be missed big time. all the best with what you do next and im very greatful for what you have done for ireland, thank you.

[thenewzidane5]

vote obama

[086apollo440]

Type in Bertie Ahern-1993-Tax Evaders on You Tube. Liar!

[stoneage1971]

ok iirishjimbolad , if you tube is for philistines, then surely you are one as well, and as for calling users uneducated you are showing your ignorance ..

[irishjimbolad]

i love the views on this page. you tube is for Philistines who are uneducated with not life and no real voice. Bertie had to go but ireland is losing a great leader. History will judge him as brillient but flawed

[cooog71]

by the way 200k in 1994 was the price of 6 semi detached houses,why was this paid for garrett fitzgerald.

[stoneage1971]

on yeh, crime is rife on the streets of dublin, stabbings and shootings are commonplace , govt are clueless how to stop it, and everything is so dear in ireland, houses, cars, food, services, drinks, and the govt are doing nothing about it. FF got lucky with the economy, with conditions that were created by FG. shame on the greens for selling their souls go get power as well..

[stoneage1971]

good fucking riddance, he learned a lot from his mentor, Charlie Haughey, he was a national disgrace to the office of taoiseach, imagine Tony Blair taking money that wasn't his to help his partner buy a house, he would never do it , and if he was caught out, he would resign on the spot.. as for bertie's legacy, we've had 10 years of unprecedented economic boom, yet our roads, health service, transport, are a shambles, the money we have is been spent badly, and fianna fail are rotten to the core

[cooog71]

say what you want about fianna fail,yes they have there problems but they were never caught in the phoenix park with rent boys ,why dont the media hound emmett stagg or garrett fitzgerald for the 200k that was paid for him in 94,or ciaran cuffe having shares in exxon mobil and he is suppose to be in the green party.

back off bertie or i will really get going.

[dubdamo6666]

Great he's gone. NEXT.

[gaelic79]

Mahon tribunal? now ur joking, mahon settled with the revenue for nearly €200k years ago..nearly 10 yr on no convictions & millons spent on legal eagles..the whole thing smacks of a subversive element that wants to bring down a democratically elected government..more to this than meets the eye people..

[frenchtaxi]

The best leader we've ever had. people always want more and more, they moan and never appreciate what he did! A taoiseach for more than 10 years, he has changed this country for the better and has given us all an amazing quality of life and yet people moan about a few thousand euro which he supposedly embezzled! People will soon realise what excellent leadership we had when he is no longer there!!! A sad week in irish politics and things are about to get much worse!

[yermanoffthetelly]

Are you serious?.Look at his record: We have a health service in a shambles, a road network that is laughably inadequate,he squandered €Bn's of taxpayers money on non-starter projects,apparently no spatial planning for the country, underinvestment in western regions...this is to name but some, all this hes embezzling large amounts of money. Hes an incompetent fool who has played us for all for idiots and wasted so many opportunities for our country. Hopefully Mahon will expose this gangster.

[frenchtaxi]

name me one country that is perfect! if you can then i will revise the view i have of Bertie. no country is without its faults. one day you will realise how lucky we all were when we had Bertie.

[cardigan181]

Fianna Fail are totally corrupt, you think Bertie and his cronies were bad, you have seen nothing yet, wait till cowen and his cronies get goin, prepare to get educated!

[irishjimbolad]

i agree with french taxi. things are about to get alot worse. yermanoffthetelly obvious does not remember the 1980's. let him come back and comment when he is on the dole with huge interest rates and unable to afford a house.

don't be fooled the economy is falling and falling hard

[yermanoffthetelly]

Ok maybe I was a little strong in my response and Im sure Cowen is a capable leader but hopefully he will have the resolve to make the tough but equally necessary decisions to straighten out the problems I highlighted. The economy is far from falling apart, basic economics will tell you its part of a cycle.

[countsmyth]

The health service is falling apart, Crime rates have spiraled out of control, Housing prises are beyond the reach of most people in the country need I go on? All the while questions arise about his personal finances. Ones he cant answer! Why? Gangster! Great day for Ireland!

[sedantez24]

Good bye to the Celtic Tiger!

[rubydogsgreen]

is he still going to be a member of finna fail or is he leaving the goverment completly?

[johnmclain11]

he will be a lower level TD, though i hear he's going for President :O

[shellyod]

He did so much for this country, peace process, celtic tiger (the boom times getting boomer - classic!) it unfortunate he had to go under these circumstances.

[GerryDisthename]

Dirty gangster. Should have been booted out by the people last year. Too many morons in this country willing to put up with corruption.

[johnrichardmahon]

you no what your a bunch off wangers he done a lot for peace in ireland you must be brain dead people

[digoe04]

ah you stupid pricks. all this man has done for this country and this is how you repay him. your Obvisously all fine gael and the left over parties. if ireland agreed with your parties you would have been elected. every government has flaws and your an idiot if you believe otherwise. this country would still be in the dauldrums only for this man so we all owe him. i hope fine gael are elected next time round so the nation can see what idiots they really are. thanks bertie.

[hellothere1919]

Are you a human or a fucking Bot? No need to post 3 times, doesn't compensate for the fact that you're another FF dickdribble who's probably on the take ( on the take = loyal to FF ).

[hessimj]

GANGSTERS!!

[hessimj]

GANGSTERS!!!

[ger011975]

Bertie what can one say fucking load of shite....god bless remember hindsight is 50/50vision

[nixxifocal]

Thank you so much, Bertie, for condescending to cease dragging the office of An Taoiseach through the mud. I hope you are dragged through the counts for obstructing the Mahon Tribunal.

[kc898989]

Hey dipsh!t, are you not living on the same island as me. Bertie Ahern accomplished more for this country than most if not all of his predecessors. You are just an ignorant 'tard who spends the day writing sh!t about those people you claim to hate yet cant stop talking about. Long live Bertie!
