Fair play to the woman!

[rustydrog]

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

[Dave Mackers]

I think Brian Cowen would give him a run for his money as worse Taoiseach

Ahern is Fianna Fail summed up in one person..corrupt, incompetent money squanderer. FF have a history of messing up the economy and being corrupt and yet people still vote for them, Ireland you have noone to blame but yourself!!

No guilt or shame, and is he for real at 0:52 ? For TV or radio, no Bertie, it's for people's actual well-being

[BarerRudeROC]

And yet we loved him for it, the longest ever running Taoiseach to date. The warnings were there, we could've stopped if not prepared for the fall but as always we were too caught up in money and expensive ventures. Bertie and Fianna Fail may have been the directors who subsequently ruined us, but we were the audience watching joyfully hoping the good times would never end.
