The Honourable Bertie Ahern they tell us …served as prime [...]

He regales audiences with a thoughtful and history-infused presentation as only an Irishman can, by sharing: the historical significance of Ireland’s late-20th-century peace process, the delicate strategy and skills he employed to achieve success, how to find common ground and strike a deal, what other countries, corporations and even individuals can learn from his approach.

If you wondered where Bertie Ahern was last weekend when he missed the inauguration well you’d be right in thinking like me that he was on a ‘Bertie-earner’.

You may remember on the eve of the 2007 General Election that Bertie Ahern dropped a leaflet to his constituents looking for second preferences for Cyprian Brady and no mention of Mary Fitzpatrick. Cyprian got elected with only 939 first preferences as Bertie’s surplus went straight to him as directed and got him elected. Today [...]
