Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I want to answer the Fine Gael leader's question. I opted to tell the whole truth, 100% truth, and did not say that something that was a personal sum was a political donation. If I had been in Manchester last Friday and received the same donation, I could have taken the list of names from Tim Kilroe, put that money into my political account and made a declaration. The reason I did not and the reason I raised it last week was that I did not want to be accused through some future leak, since everything may be leaked. I did not want to be caught in that way.
