Bertie Ahern turns the tables on Ryan Tubridy after question about rumoured run for president Full story -
Bertie Ahern refused to rule out a run for the Áras when he appeared on RTE's The Late Late Show on Friday night.
A wide range of political topics cropped up in the conversation, one of which was the suggestion that the former Taoiseach is considering throwing his hat in the ring to become President of Ireland. Ahern, who re-joined Fianna Fáil last month after an 11-year hiatus, would not be drawn on the rumours, however, as he turned the tables on Tubridy.
"Next question," Ahern replied, before hinting that he was of the opinion that Tubridy would be making a presidential run of his own after leaving his Late Late Show post. "I heard you're running!"
