Launch of Bertie Ahern's memoirs

category national | history and heritage | event notice author Monday October 05, 2009 17:23author by T R Eason Report this post to the editors

Bertie Ahern will launch his autobiography "I got away with it" at Eason, Donegall Place, Belfast
on Wednesday, October 7th at 2009 at 1 PM.

Bertie Ahern, three times Irish Taoiseach, is often described as an enigma.

The IRA man’s son who claims he delivered peace in Ireland. A working class boy who claims he was responsible for the Celtic Tiger. The devout Catholic man of faith who lived openly with a mistress for years. Now in this frank and revealing autobiography, Ahern gives his own account of a remarkable political life and the personal story that accompanies it.

Ahern has in the past that he was educated at UCD and the London School of Economics while those institutions have no record of him. Why did his marriage break down? How did he buy his house? Why did he meet with Shell executives in private? Why did hs friends have to do a whip round for him when he was earning a high salary and had no outgoings? Why dd he open so many bank and building society accounts? What was his relationship with Ben Dunne during the Haughey era?

This and other mysteries of Bertie may be cleared up in the book. Or maybe not.
