STILL in the throes of the momentous week that was, let’s take a look at the life and times and the hidden history of Bertie Ahern. The Early Days – Patrick Bartholomew Ahern was born in Drumcondra, Dublin in the rare auld times. He quickly became known as ‘Bertie’ due to his fascination with sweet idol Bertie Bassett, and the pair’s shared passion for wearing top hats made entirely of liquorice. Teenage Troubles – Bertie, along with brothers Noel and Maurice, establish The Ahernators, a tough street gang who specialise in terrorising old-lady fruit-traders on Moore Street and getting into various rumbles with Pat Rabbitte’s South Side Warriors. These uncompromising gang duels were usually settled by highly choreographed dance-offs, or furious no-holds-barred toastmasters debates.
