Bertie's fall

A Fianna Fail spokesperson has claimed that the former leader of the party, Bertie Ahern, broke his leg in what they are calling an accident.

Mr Ahern, who was not drunk at the time, slipped and fell down the stairs at his constituency office in Drumcondra earlier today.

He was rushed to the Mater Hospital where he was forced to wait for four hours before he was treated (no wait, that was somebody else- actually, that was everybody else).

Ahern will be wheeled into the Dail tomorrow to support the budget vote.

A fomer FF cabinet member now based in Brussels was said to have remarked that he if was a horse they'd shoot him.
