Careless Bertie

BERTIE Ahern was out of the traps the minute the election results from Northern Ireland came in. He jumped in with nonsense talk of ‘border polls’ as soon as it showed Sinn Féin did well.”

He said we must get ready, not giving a thought to the fact that in many circles, not least here in the south, such careless rhetoric only opens the road to more division. ROBERT SULLIVAN,
