Bertie

A four-part series which explores the question: who is the real Bertie Ahern? With no connections in the party, Bertie Ahern fought and won a Dáil seat on his first attempt. Almost uniquely, he survived the civil wars over Haughey’s leadership unscathed. He remained underestimated by his colleagues even as he rose to the leadership. As Taoiseach, he formed three back-to-back governments and presided over a decade-long boom. From family and friends we get insights into what makes this complex man tick, and how the ‘Drumcondra Mafia’ helped to force his way to the very top. Through Bertie Ahern and his Ministers we can look behind the scenes at the last three decades of Irish politics, and witness his successes and his failures which culminated in his resignation from the post of Taoiseach on 6 May 2008.
