Demonstrators had Fiery Public Support Bertie Ahern scuttled hurriedly into Easons, Shop Street, Galway this afternoon to sign his book. Which he suddenly remembered he'd had written. Or hadn't. Bertie Ahern did a right-foot shuffle through the doors of Easons bookshop in Galway's Shop Street today to avoid demonstrators whose placards at least were not fictions. This was Bertie's signing-on day and a cordoned-off table had been set up for him inside where he could plant his moniker on copies of the book he wrote and didn't write - it was ghost-written, fittingly. So the signature of the author was and at the same time was not on the book. |
