FORMER TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern has said he believes he would have “done all right” in the presidential election but for the decline in the popularity of Fianna Fáil.

The ex-Fianna Fáil leader is now predicting that the Fine Gael candidate, Dublin MEP Gay Mitchell, will win the presidency.

Mr Ahern famously denounced his Fine Gael opponent in the Dáil as “a waffler” in December 1994, but he now describes him as a “good friend” who is “in the driving seat” to win the presidential race.

Photos from Swiss artist and comedian Ursus Wehrli‘s  forthcoming book, The Art of Clean Up, due out next month, where he takes common objects and situations, then organizes them.

Wehrli is best known for his Tidying Up Art books, where he takes famous artworks by the likes of Chagall, Seraut, or Paul Klee, and “tidies” up the images by carefully organizing them into component pieces, or by creating clever infographic-like variations. The work landed him a pretty hilarious TED talk in 2006.
