The tribunal finds that Mr Ahern failed to truthfully account for a total of IR£165,214.25 passing through accounts connected with him.
It also finds that in relation to the B/T account, known as the Bertie/Tim account by bank staff in the Permanent Tsb, Mr Ahern and his associate, Tim Collins, failed to truthfully account for IR£50,000 lodged into this account between 1992-94.
In the introduction to the report the judges say a number of senior cabinet ministers made sustained and virulent attacks on the integrity of the tribunal members.
They say there is “little doubt” the objectives of these extraordinary and unprecedented attacks on the tribunal were to undermine the efficient conduct of the tribunal, erode its independence and collapse the inquiry.
