Ahern facing fourth day of questions at Mahon Tribunal

Monday, 24 September 2007

The Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, is due back in the witness box at the Mahon Tribunal today for a fourth day of questions about his personal finances.

The tribunal is investigating large sums of money that Mr Ahern received from wealthy businessmen and friends in the 1990s.

It is focusing in particular on a number of foreign exchange transactions linked to the money.

Yesterday, an opinion poll found that less than one-third of voters believe the Taoiseach's explanations over the past couple of weeks, while 60% say he should resign if he is found to have lied to the tribunal.
