The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has hit out at claims he travelled to Manchester with a suitcase full of cash in the 1990s.

The allegations were made by a former garda, who drove Mr Ahern when he was Minister for Finance in 1994.

The Taoiseach rejected the weekend newspaper allegations and says the events simply never took place.
