Tue 09 Sep 2007Evidence not credible, says OppositionTaoiseach Bertie Ahern's evidence to the Mahon tribunal is not credible, Fine Gael and Labour said last night, as both prepared to consider supporting a Dáil motion of no confidence in his leadership.Responding to the ending of Mr Ahern's testimony, the Labour leader, Eamon Gilmore, said: "quite simply I do not find the Taoiseach's convoluted accounts of his financial dealings to be credible".
