Irish Election are pleased to announce our collection of Irish 
Feast of the Immaculate Dig-Out
Read more about: Bertiegate, Corruption, Scandal, Tribunals
On no less a day than national Dig-Out Day, the Mahon tribunal team was its most explicit yet about its own theory of the legal expenses contributions to Bertie Ahern, or at least most explicit in their scepticism that the dig-out ever occurred. Charlie Chawke (who, God bless him, is essentially working with one leg) backed Bertie to the hilt, as did fellow Apostles Jim Nugent and David McKenna. Their account carefully keeps Bertie out of the mechanics of the fundraising, leaving that to the word of Des Richardson and the deceased Gerry Brennan. The Mahon lawyer also apparently raised the allegation that David McKenna was the source of the leak to the papers about the contributions last year, but McKenna denied it. This leak is an important part of the election dynamics, as it became a rally-around device for FF, especially in the hands of Brian Cowen.
