Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I will not discuss the business of people who are in the grave and others who are not in the grave. It has never been my form to do that. What I could say has been well analysed but I will not say it.

I got money from close friends. They were not business people. They were not looking for anything from me. I paid them back with the relevant interest. That is the point.
