Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has added fuel to the rumours that he is going to run for the presidency in 2025.
Mr Ahern, 71, rejoined Fianna Fáil before Christmas leading to speculation that the Drumcondra man could run as the party’s candidate for Áras an Uachtaráin.
He left the party in 2012 after the Mahon Tribunal during which he claimed that he did not have a bank account when he was Minister of Finance. The Tribunal did not make a corruption finding against him but did not believe he was being truthful over certain money connected to him.
