FORMER Taoiseach Bertie Ahern’s ex-partner Celia Larkin is not expected to be at his birthday party this week. Ms Larkin yesterday advised Mr Ahern to “shut up” as his views continue to attract controversy.

Mr Ahern claimed people overstretched themselves during the boom and it was now handy to blame somebody else.

The former Fianna Fail leader made the comments in a TV3 documentary ‘The Rise and Fall of Fianna Fail’, which starts tonight.

Controversial.

Well there goes the last shred of it.

The former prime minister was reportedly present in March last year when Murdoch’s two daughters by his third wife were baptised on the banks of the Jordan.

The information was not made public and its disclosure in an interview with Mrs Murdoch in Vogue will prove highly embarrassing for Mr Blair.

His close ties to the Murdochs could explain his reluctance to condemn the News International phone hacking scandal.
