- The fourth episode was broadcast on the 24th of November 2008 and focused on the period from early 1999 up to 2008. The Planning Tribunal, Mahon Tribunal was set up in 1998 to "enquire urgently" into planning affairs in Dublin. Nearly a decade later it would focus on Ahern's missing bank accounts and a pattern of lodgements and withdrawals noticeably larger than his salary between 1993 and 1995. His subsequent attempts to explain this on the RTÉ Six One News in September 2006 and the coining of the term "dig-out" entered Irish political folklore. His performance at the Tribunal and dichotomies in his evidence featured there.
I was 12 when bertie took power. I was in my last year of college when the country and bertie went into the toilet. I feel somewhat emotional looking at this now. I dont know how to feel about those years. I met bertie in 1999 in cahir. I was 14. I shook his hand, I looked him in the eye and him me. We didn't say anything to each other.
His handling of the North was exceptional and I have no doubt that he was focused and disciplined, however I think he was in over his head with economics and didn't truely understand what he was in charge of. I'm not sure we have anyone in ireland that would do better.
Now in 2024 we have a tired fg, a broken ff, labour at the end of the road and sf who I believe are not in position nor want government.
Ireland like Irish people always grappled with identity in the world, we are like an adult with the skills but no confidence to take charge. Maybe some day we will change.
Fianna Fail have always been the home of gombeen Ireland.

Exactly. How's that worked out for you, Micheal?
the spire is the most pointless monument ever .... its a huge needle in the middle of dublin which is quite fitting because there is no shortage of heroin addicts in dublin
it was a ridiculous idea from the beginning. they could’ve built some town a whole library with that money.
Dunlop's autobiography is amusing, full of ever so larger than life tales of him taking on 'da Brits' and winning every time. Funny how FF always attracts convicted fraudsters.
59:30 We’ll that comment didn’t age well 😂 Once he was gone his banking / property crises destroyed our economy. Ahern was then expelled from FF
Still can't find it ... bloody adm
regret later...however.. however 🙄🤔😟😟🤔
