Wed 07 Jul 2007Tribunal hears bank records at odds with Ahern storyA senior official with AIB yesterday confirmed a third instance where its records clashed with what Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has told the Mahon tribunal concerning his personal finances, writes Colm Keena, Public Affairs Correspondent.The evidence from Philip Murphy, who dealt personally with Mr Ahern's affairs at AIB O'Connell Street, Dublin, in the 1990s, came as the tribunal confirmed that Mr Ahern's scheduled attendance this week has been put back to September. The taking of evidence from a number of bank witnesses is taking longer than was anticipated.
