FORMER TAOISEACH BERTIE Ahern celebrated his 60th birthday in style last night, at a party in Croke Park organised by his daughters Cecilia and Georgina.
A host of well-known names arrived at Croker last night to toast Ahern, but there was no sign of the man himself, as photographers waited outside to catch a glimpse of the birthday boy.
It’s speculated today that he slipped in through one of Croke Park’s less public entrances, as his daughters, ex-wife Miriam, Fianna Fáil pal Charlie McCreevy, and Dublin football boss Pat Gilroy arrived for the party.
According to Mark Hillard and Lisa Hand’s report in today Irish Independent, guests were served a three course meal, while the walls of the venue were adorned with pictures of Bertie through the years.
Ahern’s daughter Ceclila said that her dad hates this kind of fuss and that he was just doing his ‘duty’ by turning up.
It’s also reported that Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and Alex Ferguson all sent video messages to the birthday boy.
