Ahern tenders resignation as Taoiseach

Tuesday, 6 May 2008 23:04

Bertie Ahern has formally tendered his resignation as Taoiseach to President Mary McAleese at Áras an Uachtaráin.

Mr Ahern spent the afternoon clearing his desk and bidding final farewells to his staff in Government Buildings, where some senior members will be stepping down with him.

He arrived at the Áras just after 6pm to formally tell President McAleese of his intention to resign.

Mr Ahern has one final engagement tomorrow morning when he leads the Government at the official commemoration of the Easter Rising at Arbour Hill.

Mr Ahern has often spoken of his admiration for the men and women of 1916 and his supporters will find it appropriate that this will be his last official act after 11 years as Taoiseach.

The Dáil will meet tomorrow to elect Brian Cowen as Mr Ahern's successor.

Ahern, Paisley open Boyne centre 

Earlier, the Taoiseach and Northern Ireland First Minister Ian Paisley officially opened the Battle of the Boyne site in Co Meath.

Watch the opening ceremony here.

 

Hundreds of invited guests gathered at the Oldbridge Estate for the event at 11am this morning. They included Orangemen and Apprentice Boys.

Oldbridge is the location of the main battlefield of the Battle of the Boyne.

The 500-acre site, which borders Co Louth, was bought by the State in 1999 to preserve one of the most famous sites in Irish history.

Mr Ahern and Mr Paisley jointly cut a ribbon officially opening the site using swords dating back to the 17th Century.

It was a ceremony to suggest Ireland is at peace, the final act of reconciliation before Mr Ahern stands down as Taoiseach and Tánaiste Brian Cowen succeeds him.

The two leaders will also tour the new facility, which has cost more than €10m to refurbish.

Its refurbishment is expected to almost treble the number of tourists who visit - last year more than 30,000 people visited the site.

Ahern could run for president: Paisley

Former SDLP leader John Hume has said he never thought he would see the day when Ian Paisley and Bertie Ahern would meet on the site of the Battle of the Boyne.

Mr Hume was among the guests at the opening of the site this morning. He said today's events were evidence of the fact that the past is behind the people of Ireland north and south.

He said it was an important and historic day.

The Nobel Prize winner said Mr Ahern had made peace in Northern Ireland a priority during his time in office. He said his reputation as a peacemaker went before him.

Speaking on RTÉ Radio's Morning Ireland, Mr Paisley said he thinks Mr Ahern will be a candidate for the presidency.

The Northern Ireland First Minister also said the departing Taoiseach could go to Europe.

Mr Ahern had invited the DUP leader to the battle site outside Slane at a meeting in Farmleigh in April.

The Battle of the Boyne was fought between William of Orange and Catholic King James II in 1690. The Protestant Orange Order celebrates William's victory on 12 July.

剛剛去看新聞
這消息已經從去年愛爾蘭選舉時就發生了
我再上網check過
去rte網站
結果意外發現竟然還有音樂錄影帶
還有女婿的版本

這就是不同國家的政治文化
是一種政治責任的表現
這是為什麼讀了各國國家政治制度
總統制(美國),雙首長制(法國),內閣制(英國)等各有國家為代表
我國都曾經用國這些制度
都是抓一點好的來用
但當我們學了這些制度
往往是我們學習不透徹
再者就是不適合
這是我們還需要學習並改進的地方

他26歲時已擔任的國會議員
1997年擔任首相(Prime Minister)至今年5月
這11年間帶動了愛爾蘭經濟起飛
這期間也離婚
不過他有兩個很有名的女兒
最有名就是和英國前首相布萊爾對北愛所簽的和平協定
今年他在St. Patrick's Day 拜訪美國
說真的
He looks charming!!

不沾鍋被控貪瀆 愛爾蘭總理請辭了
 
【聯合報╱編譯張佑生／綜合報導】 2008.04.03 04:22 am
 
 
愛爾蘭總理艾恆（Bertie Ahern）11年任內與大小弊案絕緣，素有「不沾鍋總理」之稱，2日卻在日漸升高的貪瀆指控聲浪中，閃電宣布將於5月6日辭職。

讓艾恆不沾鍋形象破功的是成立於1997年，專司調查政商勾結的「馬洪法庭」（Mahon Tribunal）。艾恆自從去年9月首度出庭作證後，便屢屢被傳喚到庭解釋他在1990年代擔任財政部長時，得自朋友和企業家的款項。換算成現在的幣值，折合台幣約4200萬元。

艾恆的記者會舉行的相當匆促，他否認涉及不法，強調向總統請辭是不想讓弊案指控影響到政府運作：「我打從心裡面知道自己沒有做錯任何事，也沒有對不起任何人。我要每個人都了解在公職生涯中，我從未將私人好處置於公共利益之上。」

愛爾蘭的經濟發展十年來突飛猛進，被譽為「凱爾特之虎」，現年56歲的艾恆功不可沒，也讓他在去年創下3連任的紀錄。日前他宣布將做完本屆任期到2012年後下台，不料局勢急轉直下。

艾恆請辭消息傳出後，前後任英國首相布萊爾和布朗均表遺憾，分別讚揚艾恆協助化解北愛爾蘭數十年暴力衝突的卓越貢獻。

艾恆在1977年以26歲之齡首度當選國會議員，1994年43歲時成為共和黨史上最年輕的黨魁，自1997年6月擔任總理至今。

Bertie Ahern to leave office on 6 May Wednesday, 2 April 2008 23:12

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has announced that he will tender his resignation to President Mary McAleese on 6 May.

In an emotional speech surrounded by his Government colleagues, Mr Ahern expressed thanks to his supporters over more than three decades in the corridors of power.

He said his announcement was solely motivated by what is in the best interests of the people and said recent developments had not motivated his decision.

However Mr Ahern said he had no doubt that a simplistic analysis will suggest that his decision was influenced by more recent events at the Tribunal.

Mr Ahern insisted he had never put personal interest above the public good.

'I have never done anything to corrupt my office' he said. 'I know in my heart of hearts that I have done no wrong and wronged no one.'

During the statement at Government Buildings, the Taoiseach stressed that he had never received a corrupt payment.

He said he feared 'the constant barrage' of commentary on tribunal-related matters would continue to dominate the political agenda at what he described as 'an important point for our country.'

Surrounded by his ministers, he said he had been humbled with 'the great responsibility' of leading the nation and expressed his belief that all levels of Irish society had seen their well being improved while he served as Taoiseach.

Mr Ahern said it was an extraordinary honour to be elected as Taoiseach and gave his thanks to his Fianna Fáil colleagues.

He also acknowledged the steadfast support from the coalition parties and Independents who supported his Government.

'Just as stability is important in a coalition Government, it is even more vital in a political organisation.'

Mr Ahern said he had first sought election to the office of Taoiseach on the pledge that he would put people before politics. He had kept that promise.

He said he had always placed the interests of the Irish people above his own. Therefore, he would not allow issues relating to his own person to dominate the body politic as this would be contrary to the long-term interests of the Irish people.

The Taoiseach stressed he wanted everyone to understand one truth above all else: never in all the time that he had served in public life had he ever put his own personal interests ahead of the public good.

Mr Ahern said he had provided more details about his own personal finances than any person in public life who had held office.

And while he was the first to admit that he had made mistakes in his life and in his career, one mistake he never made was to enrich himself by misusing the trust of the people.

Mr Ahern said he had never done anything to dishonour any office that he had ever held.

11 years as Taoiseach

Bertie Ahern has been Taoiseach for almost 11 years.

Prior to attaining the highest office of Government, he held most of the important cabinet portfolios including Finance, Labour and Industry and Commerce.

He gained worldwide attention for his role in striking the Good Friday Agreement for which all sides on the political divide recognised his important vital contribution.

His career in politics began at 17 years of age when he joined Fianna Fáil.

He became a TD in 1977 and began to progress up the party hierachy.

In 1987 he was made Minister for Labour. He later spent periods as Minister for Industry and Commerce and Minister for Finance.

Following the collapse of the Fianna Fáil / Labour Government in 1994, Mr Ahern was elected leader of his party and three years later, he led Fianna Fáil into coalition with the Progressive Democrats.

During his time as Taoiseach he has won acclaim for the role he played in the peace process - helping to negotiate the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

His spell in office has also seen a period of record economic growth and prosperity, but has been plagued by questions about his financial affairs in the 1990s.

Bertie Ahern is the first Fianna Fáil leader since Eamon De Valera to have won three terms in office for his party.

今年我又去了BM

但因為我真的太渴了
自己就點了Guinness
好好喝喔！感覺Guinness好新鮮！

因為我喝了一杯半
飲酒過量有礙健康
