He will be remembered as Ireland's worst Taoiseach, squandered the boom years with quangos and pandering to the unions in a pathetic attempt to cling to power. His policy was to spend spend spend with no thought or regard for the evidence of a massive property bubble that was presented to him for years. He is nothing but a two bit shister that got drunk on the positive publicity the peace process in the north afforded him. Typical that he refuses to accept any responsibility, says it all really
He was fondly called the dirt collector, by his old master Mr.charles haughey. He would get the dirt on anyone who stood in the way of the party line. People were always won over by his method of playing the old fool, but he was a well trained snake in the grass. All that concerns bertie now is how the history books will scribe his legacy forever in irish history, and im told its not looking good for him. good riddance to bad blood.
Prediction:This guy will draw his huge pension etc and laugh at you all for a very long time and you will do exactly NOTHING about it but complain.So much for your press and police.
If theres a draft in your house he can stand and block the breeze after that i dont know what much else he can do except be a con man,fantastic job bertie splendid work altogether you fuckwit,at least have the decency to treat people with some respect you scumbag we will be paying for this bollixs upkeep for the rest of his life sickens me.
I thought the Irish were a smart and tough ppl. They elect someone, ( it takes about 5mins to work out he is a village idiot), who bankrupted them. And this guy can walk around smiling and talk BS to pliable, unprofessional journos without any challenge. I can only conclude the Irish are a bunch of gullible clowns with no bottle whatsoever.
@GrinningSceptic, I agree with you, that man just belitted that woman, she did not want to be on TV, she wanted to tell him he was not doing his job. Totally arrogant man, I dont like him, he talked a lot and said nothing.
Anyway, if you are reading this on the 20th December 2011, try listening to Band Aid the original one. I wish we could all get along and feed the hungry kids
Lets not forget the long service FF and bertie gave Ireland. Not one person in could have forecast the current situation. The global economy's an its ass!
Seen him recently, Fat Thiveing Bastard will drop dead soon on the excess of his €3k a week Taoiseach pension. Not to mention all his other pensions. No wonder we are fucked,he was behind the wheels of Government while being hungover on Fagans Bass.
father of a nation! Bertie Ahern is the best leader ireland has ever had and will have. He didn't know about the banks and wished someone told him. God bless Bertie Ahern
@flynner1997 What the hell are you smoking man? Betrayer of the nation would be more accurate, he is a disgrace ,and i dont think your blessings will save him from the fires of hell.
people come along here to get themselves on tv and radio!!!! FUCKING CHEEKY IGNORANT PRICK. and the complete arrogance of the man to think that.... SOMEONES IN DENIAL!! RUINED THE COUNTRY full stop.
a war is coming. the poor vs the rich.. traitors your money wont help when your dragged out of your bed at night. ireland is like robin hood but in reverse "rob from the poor and give to the rich"
it's high time we made these robbers take lie-detector tests.i know all about the 2pc rate of being not accurate,but what about the 98pc of accuracy?how many of these snot-buckets would be prepared to take one ? anything to hide?
Bertie no shame - sur he's living a kings life - why the fook would anyone with his record even know what the word means - him & Biffo the quango kings -
What an arrogant B******. So out of touch with people scraping from day to day. Trying to make out that desperate and fustrated people were only trying to get on telly.
In truth, RTE and the Irish Independent, especially the Sunday edition in particular and much of the media elite in Ireland for that matter backed Bertie Ahern (a criminal) and FF to the hilt for years. There propaganda and self interested agenda continues. Where is their shame?
They have not changed - the media elite in Ireland have decided they want Sean Gallagher as President and most of the sheep (you) are expected to follow.
o my god.. his biggest regret is not getting a national stadium,,, what a complete and utter cunt,, the state is has left the country in and all he can think about is a poxy stadium.. lucky for him he doesnt live in libya.. he would probably get the same treatment as gadaffi... fianna fail scum !!
It an obvious to me for years that Bertie was an utter spoofer. The fake smile ,the fake jovial man of the people horse shit. His contrived love of sport. He comes across to me always as a spoofer whe in truth he was in politics for the sake of power. It always amazes me how the Irish people could never see through this absolute fruad.
The fact that that woman was running for election obviously had nothing to do with this stunt. Bertie has been found out alright, but the likes of her and her loony left freinds aren't much better.
I urge all PEOPLE of Ireland, Vote for Martin McGuiness. Vote for the lost Irish people still under British Occupation. A step towards a united Ireland. A united Ireland is a the only solution to a peaceful and economic resurgent Ireland. 2016 Referendum. We are nearer a United ireland than ever. The one Collins & Connolly dared to dream off. Dont be an ignorant Irish citizen by listening to British propaganda. VOTÁIL Martin le do thóil. EIRE ABU
0.50 ''People come along here and try to get demselves on tv and radio'' You mean the working Irish people that paid for ur tie shirt and jacket you fuckin snake.
and driver was taken from him! He didn't even have the decency not to accept this luxury. I really hope in years 2come when the history books are written that Bertie Ahern is remembered as the dishonest traitor that he is
@irelandcool1 Look up the Bilderberg Group, which Bertie attended, also Peter Sutherland, former Attorney General of Ireland, is a frequent guest, also the top men in AIB and BOI... it also seems that before politicians are (s)elected into office they are invited to this yearly meeting. "The NWO never happened" lol... it's been happening since the beginning of civilizations, since freemasons got together... Ordo ab chao, look it up and who's moto it is. Educate yourself....
Just grandstanding by a candidate looking for publicity before the election. Cheap tactic by that women, well she is a politician who then hired her husband to assist her. She is no different to the rest
bertie you're a piece of shit, she didn't come there to come on TV, she came on there to tell you how you've made her life shit, like everyone else in this country. you scumbag.
I've heard some good bullshitter politicians in my time but this guy is up there in the top league main regret, not getting more stadiums up?...what the F?? is that it?....a nation bankrupt and its...stadiums...my god
'People come along here to try and get themselves on TV and radio'
What an arrogant bastard! It just proves how far removed our so called 'Taoiseach' was from the ordinary citizens who he was supposed to serve and represent. But what does he care what we think, he's riding off into the sunset with a nice fat pension which far exceeds the average industrial wage. Let's hope that one night karma catches up with him and he chokes on his pint of Bass in Fagan's.
In Ireland you know we sentence traitors to several consecutive terms in office. The shame is most definitly on us, we were the ones who put the rats in the parlor. Lets not act surprised at the consequences of our own greed. I think that snake in the video should be in jail by the way.
does anyone know why he had to go in on sat night? anyway its good to know ur office st lukes is still up and running bertie!!. u can still operate succient business into ur later years of life
Joan Collins walking in front of the camera just before the election for some free publicity. She got elected so it might have helped but it was just a stunt
I am a 29year old well qualified male and have in-fact moved to out of Ireland with my wife and newly born baby in shame of the whole country and the way it has ended up! I seriously don't know how these politicians can show themselves in public...it's an absolute shame and I am only happy that the great men and women who gave their lives for us to have a Republic are not around to see just how corrupt and dirty Ireland has become!
bertie and the others who banktupted this country should have been tried like the nuremburg trials and sentenced to hard labour for the rest of there life, i wouldnt give them the death penilty as it would be the easiest way out.
THE HERALD SAYS HE'S NOT RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENT.11/5/11.WHAT A SHAME I WAS DYING TO SEE HIM HUMILIATED.IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GAS TO SEE LESS PEOPLE IN DUBLIN VOTING FOR HIM THEN VOTE FOR HIM IN MAYO.
The Irish Government is about to sell-off of the public forests managed by Coillte to private investors. An area greater than 1 million acres, or two medium sized counties will be lost FOREVER. Thats the wildlife that makes Ireland beautiful GONE!! Interest has been expressed by Swiss finance company Helvetia Wealth - who own the International Forestry Fund chaired by Bertie Ahern and The China Investment Corporation. He took your money, don't let him take the forests woodlandleague . org
He oversaw that toxic deal with the Vatican to indemnify The State and The Vatican... from civil litigation and criminal prosecutions arising from the systemic abuse of children for over 80 years. YUK!
Absolute and utter prick. 40 or 50 seats?? Would've loved to have seen the look on his face when they got 20. Good riddance. Fianna Fail as we know it is dead and gone, that's your legacy Bertie. Bertie the bollix. Hope lining your own pockets was worth it and the brown envelopes keep you warm at night. Oliver Cromwell, the Potato Blight and Bertie "the bollix" Ahern.

the audacity of him !"most people do this to get themselves on TV and radio etc" never responded to this woman she has every right to say to you have you any shame ! why didn't you answer ? you arrogant traitor ...what have you done you to help Ireland you and your party raped that country blind and lie lie lie..thumbs up if you agree !
Vote ULA and Sinn Fein tomorrow .We really need a strong peoples mandate in opposition to represent the people suffering in this country ,we need people in opposition to hold the incoming government in line and by god Fianna failures and the green party wont do that .think of your family,unemployed and pensioners and who will stand up for us and tell it as it is - honest,straight talking and want change . people who can connect with the ordinary people and understand their strain !
It goes to show how detached from life on the ground he is. To compare Ireland with Quatar and Kuwait is just not fitting. Outside his social circle he has no where to go. The history books in schools will view him not as a states man but as an inept first world leader. No mayorial position, no Pheonix park. This is a ruined man. And rightly so.
Pleading ignorance of the state of the banks is unbelievable. It was his job to keep the state on a sustainable path.
He's evidently still deluded since he won't acknowledge his primary responsibility for allowing the real boom of the 90s turn into a property price bubble where all sight of value and competitiveness was lost.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah..... little countries like Quatar and Kuwait ...hahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND HAVE BEEN MADE FOOLS OF, WE ARE THE FOOLS, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
I don't know Irish politics but if ANY American politician were to say that, we would be infuriated.. It's dismissive of people that may be suffering legitimate grievances that are plausibly the result of your decisions.
He should have said,
"I understand your pain, mam.. Alot of people are suffering and I'm doing my best to bring relief to you in these hard times. There's no easy answer".
fianna fail...crap....fine gael...equally crap...no matter who is in government its going to be shit. People blame the government for the state were in but the irish people are equally to blame. For years weve been living better and thinking were better then we actually are. People need to shut up complaining and get on with trying to get our country back on the road.
The fianna fail party should now follow like the rats that fled the sinking ship, desolve and dissappear into the ether and be carried away on the strongest possible wind, and the words"fianna fail" should now be recieved with the same contempt and destain as the most offensive expletives in our language. Contrast this self serving verbal diarrhoea with Michael D Higgins's final Dail speech, and compare this drivilling idiot with an articulate and true politician of the people.
''Thank you'' ...''get themselves on tv''...Seriously! Thsi could be my mother, your mother!
We as the youth of Ireland have a responsiblity to get of our backsides and fight for whats left of this country. Lets build a new republic. Secure our natural resources, print our own money, bring all guilty of economic treason to court and protect the vulnerable instead of protecting the rich!!! All my friends are leaving and I can't take this anymore.Generation emigration! Its not too late...
i cant believe their is people considering voting for fianna fail and the green clowns in the coming election .are we really that stupid ? are we going to let the treasonists back into power ? between them they have destroyed the economy, caused massive debth, destroyed our confidence, caused mass unemployment,caused mass emmigration,given up our sovreignty and have left the mess they caused for the people to clean up! are you people really that nieve and loyal that you would vote for them ? NO!
This man should be in jail. Should be locked up for life. He plundered our country for his own gain. Himself and Ray Burke had private meetings with oil companies and surrendered the state's stake in all royalties on petroleum and natural gas extraction within Ireland's waters. He also removed the state's right to participate in the Kinsale Head gas field. This money could have been used to bail the country out of the current economic mess.
Bertie Ahern is an utter swine. His nose is firmly rooted in the trough and he has the brass neck to say, explicitly, he knew nothing about the economic circumstances of the country he was running! SHAME ON YOU!
This traitor to a nation, its people, its culture, its body politic, was not known as Teflon bertie for nothing smug Ba-t-rD that he is.....these clever foxes in ''FIANNA Fail'' should be driven from their dens and strung up out side Leinster House
To claim that woman's motive was to get on TV shows Bertie's removal from reality. Who's job is it to regulate the banks? It is the governments job to make sure power is not abused. Bertie Ahern should have his pension stripped and he should be put in prison for crimes against the Irish people. Throw away the key.
Bertie Ahern isn't a paedophile. I don't believe it.

The Irish Government is about to sell-off of the public forests managed by Coillte to private investors. An area greater than 1 million acres, or two medium sized counties will be lost FOREVER. Thats the wildlife that makes Ireland beautiful GONE!! Interest has been expressed by Swiss finance company Helvetia Wealth - who own the International Forestry Fund chaired by Bertie Ahern and The China Investment Corporation. He took your money, don't let him take the forests woodlandleague . org

It goes to show how detached from life on the ground he is. To compare Ireland with Quatar and Kuwait is just not fitting. Outside his social circle he has no where to go. The history books in schools will view him not as a states man but as an inept first world leader. No mayorial position, no Pheonix park. This is a ruined man. And rightly so.

Pleading ignorance of the state of the banks is unbelievable. It was his job to keep the state on a sustainable path.
He's evidently still deluded since he won't acknowledge his primary responsibility for allowing the real boom of the 90s turn into a property price bubble where all sight of value and competitiveness was lost.

"get themselves on radio and TV"
right there!
I don't know Irish politics but if ANY American politician were to say that, we would be infuriated.. It's dismissive of people that may be suffering legitimate grievances that are plausibly the result of your decisions.
He should have said,
"I understand your pain, mam.. Alot of people are suffering and I'm doing my best to bring relief to you in these hard times. There's no easy answer".
Even if it's a lie.

fianna fail...crap....fine gael...equally crap...no matter who is in government its going to be shit. People blame the government for the state were in but the irish people are equally to blame. For years weve been living better and thinking were better then we actually are. People need to shut up complaining and get on with trying to get our country back on the road.

The fianna fail party should now follow like the rats that fled the sinking ship, desolve and dissappear into the ether and be carried away on the strongest possible wind, and the words"fianna fail" should now be recieved with the same contempt and destain as the most offensive expletives in our language. Contrast this self serving verbal diarrhoea with Michael D Higgins's final Dail speech, and compare this drivilling idiot with an articulate and true politician of the people.

We as the youth of Ireland have a responsiblity to get of our backsides and fight for whats left of this country. Lets build a new republic. Secure our natural resources, print our own money, bring all guilty of economic treason to court and protect the vulnerable instead of protecting the rich!!! All my friends are leaving and I can't take this anymore.Generation emigration! Its not too late...

This man should be in jail. Should be locked up for life. He plundered our country for his own gain. Himself and Ray Burke had private meetings with oil companies and surrendered the state's stake in all royalties on petroleum and natural gas extraction within Ireland's waters. He also removed the state's right to participate in the Kinsale Head gas field. This money could have been used to bail the country out of the current economic mess.

To claim that woman's motive was to get on TV shows Bertie's removal from reality. Who's job is it to regulate the banks? It is the governments job to make sure power is not abused. Bertie Ahern should have his pension stripped and he should be put in prison for crimes against the Irish people. Throw away the key.
