Following Mr. Ahern's rejoining of Fianna Fáil in February of this year, ending a near-decade-long exile from the political party, rumours have been steadily growing that he plans to contest the 2025 Presidential election.Over the course of his appearance on RTE's flagship chat show, the former Taoiseach discussed his role in the brining about of the Good Friday Agreement, which he described as a"pleasure" to be involved with.

Mr. Ahern did however acknowledge that the agreement"hasn't done everything we wanted", a fact borne out by reports this week thatAs the interview reached its final stages, host Ryan Tubridy opted to address the rumours surrounding Mr. Ahern's anticipated Presidential bid, by asking if he was"running for the Áras or not".

Hope he runs…and gets humiliated!

Running low on funds are we

Let him at it 😀😀😀😀😀

The only reason he's back is the anniversary of the GFA. What ever else people blame him for, they can't take that away. It was his crowning achievement. How many other people would leave their mothers wake to go to Belfast? Remember if he hadn't people would have walked.

Crawl back under the rock you came out from Bertie

Everyone clapping at that on the late late should take a long walk off a short pier

He shows a lack of insight, is he surrounding himself with sycophants ?

Good luck with that. I don't know anyone who would vote for him.

A crook he will fit in well with the rest of them

Corrupt scum

King of Corruption at its finest . How’s he funding that , the jacobs biscuit tin under the bed is it . Another €480 a week payed by tax payers to keep him in make up .😏

President of FF Mafia of conmen,compulsive liars.

He's a better chance of winning the Dublin Marathon

Goes to show what the Presidency means in Ireland Sweet eff all,a corrupt ex political leader shamed in a tribunal is ready to run for Presidency. Jesus can you get more Irish than that Over my dead body he will.

The President is the symbolic embodiment of the state. Maybe having a corrupt swindling crook as President very clearly represents our little states values.

He has a very high opinion of himself. 💰Mr Money Bags.
