They helpfully include some of the Dáil interventions that our Taoiseach is trying to protect being questioned further on and your bonus track is an interview with Enda! It’s a pity that they don’t give the listeners a bluffers guide - and they spent a lot of time reading solicitors letters without a lot of interpretation. I’m sure that bloggers will help??

Example of the latter being today. Eamon Keane is fecking useless.

It would fit with his pattern of not remembering what happens when he goes in there. Maybe Bertie’s just left the wrong briefcase at the bank again.

Bertie's response now will be to overlook what the letters are actually saying and point out that the Tribunal is clearly leaking against him and are out to get him. People will say "poor Bertie" and attack the Tribunal for going after the man of the people. But surely the Mahon Tribunal would realise this and wouldn't be stupid enough to leak the letters themselves, right? But then who else could it be? Hmmm... Who else would have access to private correspondence between Bertie Ahern and The Mahon Tribunal? Who would benefit if it looked like these letters were leaked by The Tribunal? Who would benefit if the public thought the Tribunal was just out to get him? Well, I certainly can't figure that one out.
