Items related to Bertie: Power and Money
The fascinating story of the man who blew the boom. Colm Keena, the journalist who first broke the story of Bertie Ahern's finances, gives us an in-depth examination of the former Taoiseach's character, his lust for power and his obsession with money. Keena scrutinizes the evidence produced by the Mahon Tribunal about Ahern's personal finances and his personal political machine, and illustrates the lengths to which Ahern went in his effort to hide the truth about what he was up to. Ahern's political career is re-charted in the light of what we now know about his character. Keena looks at how his desire for power existed alongside an almost complete absence of political conviction, this lack of which left him open to the influence of those with strong opinions, and did nothing to arrest his mismanagement of the Irish economy. His lust for popularity brought Ireland from rude good health to economic disaster. An historic opportunity was squandered, but Bertie walked away from the wreckage with his wallet bulging. His legacy: the near-destruction of a European economy and the collapse of one of the most successful political parties of the past hundred years.

About the Author:
Colm Keena is public affairs correspondent with the Irish Times. He broke the story about the Mahon Tribunal's inquiry into Bertie Ahern's finances. His refusal to disclose his sources for that story to the tribunal was later vindicated in a ruling of the Supreme Court. He is the author of three previous books, A Biography of Gerry Adams, The Ansbacher Conspiracy and Haughey's Millions.
