Coming to terms with Ahern's legacy
14th Nov 2006, 06:15 GMT
Bertie Ahern has been Taoiseach for a longer span than Éamon de Valera. Fifty years from now, historians will focus not on the Manchester Dig-Out but on the past decade as a period of unprecedented affluence in our nation's history. Yet there is no signature building left to mark the era. The Bertie Bowl proved a mirage (unless you count the leaky National Aquatic Centre) and Croke Park (perhaps his favourite haunt) can never be renamed.
