It appears that something decidedly 'fishy' is going on, and has been going on for some time between our Taoiseach and the media,the Irish Independent in particular.Not just concerning his murky financial affairs,but in the media's refusal to take him to task on such issues as ,for example,his recent outrageous remark regarding suicide.
A few weeks ago the Sunday Independent had a glaring lead headline about the C.A.R.I. organisation being 'investigated' by the Mahon Tribunal in relation to Bertie Ahearn's finances.
Clearly this story was intended to add fuel to the ongoing criticism of Mahon.
Sure ,we have headlines referring to the Taoiseach's 'red herring'comment;when an apparent banking error caused Ahearn to refer to a conspiricy,and other headlines mentioning an expected 'grilling'when he is, finally, dragged,kicking and screaming-clinging- to- the- doorposts ,to give his explanations of his financial affairs.
But ...wait...hold-on...just a minnow...isn't this the man who claimed that the Tribunal was on a 'fishing' expedition in relation to their 'trawl' for information and he looking forward to giving his side of the story...?...If so why try to further delay his appearence.
At last will we have the trout,the whole trout and nothing but the trout...?

enjoyed the piece... who is this Ahearn, though? Any relation of Bertie Ahern?
