Comments on: Bertie Ahern addressing Congress http://www.gavinsblog.com/2008/04/30/bertie-ahern-addressing-congress/ Estd. in Ireland, July 2002 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 08:30:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Maggie http://www.gavinsblog.com/2008/04/30/bertie-ahern-addressing-congress/comment-page-1/#comment-467673 Maggie Mon, 05 May 2008 22:27:16 +0000 http://www.gavinsblog.com/?p=3113#comment-467673 Its sickening to hear that man assume position of peacemaker supreme. In response to the break of barriers in eastern Europe, there were grassroots movements in the 1980s & 90s (inclusive of membres of Sinn Fein) lobbying for change - for example Irish National Congress. Lobby groups found a responsive & reactive voice from Reynolds. Ahern, at that time kept his head down. He did zilch. Post election 1997, he appointed Rambo as Minister for Foreign Affairs. Rambo was arrogantly hanging on by his fingertips & did zilch. So Mr B Ahern took up the leaders' reins and was there to sign GFA. It is possible that he actually did some work prior to signing - negligible really - as he had not been in power long enough to make current claim.
