Sez the Mahon Tribunal report:
Also:
The tribunal is “satisfied that the €50,000 funded at least a significant portion of the purchase of a Mayo farm in name of Padraig Flynn’s wife [Dorothy Flynn, above]”.

Eh.

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.
The Mahon Tribunal does a great job of bringing us back to the 90s. Downloading the thing is like having dial-up.

Blimey.
A striking yet also friendly-looking Irish Wolfhound by Dubliner James Earley, who started out as a graffiti artist on de streetz.
His work can be found “opposite the Project Arts Centre, the front of the Bernard Shaw, The Tivoli Theatre, Drury Street, the lane at the back of the Village, the Generator Hostel interior to name a few”. Naughty.
