FIANNA Fail is bracing itself for the fallout from the Mahon Tribunal report, with the party drawing up a strategy to respond to its findings, including potentially adverse claims against its former leader.

The tribunal's findings on Bertie Ahern's financial affairs are keenly anticipated and he faces possible expulsion from the party if the tribunal finds against him.

Whoop-de-fckin' do!
He MIGHT be thrown out of the party! Bit late bloody now!
He must be quaking his his boots! (NOT!)


(But shush... don't tell anyone that he will still get to keep all his still ongoing perks, be they big or small, his €2400 weekly pension, etc...

...And he will still get a state funeral paid by the public at his death!

If its out before May, i'd be very surprised.

If FG and Labour plan it right, it will be out just in time for their holiday break - that way, it will give all parties to define their positions and statements, hope some of the publicity will have diluted and thus take the pressure off them to do be larger seen at doing something with the results of the report!

Expect the usual rush bluster of statements made for a week or two.
Expect FF to distance themselves form matters of the past and from individuals,
Expect nothing more of any substance to be done within months!

Irish politics - its gotten so predictable sometimes.
