John Moloney thinks the former Fianna Fail leader should have been considered for the Presidency.
A former Midlands TD believes Fianna Fail's decision not to consider Bertie Ahern in the presidential race is an "outstanding disappointment".
Ex Laois/Offaly rep for the party John Moloney believes the former Taoiseach should be forgiven for his mistakes, and celebrated for his achievements.
As things stand, the All Ireland winning Dublin coach Jim Gavin is strong favourite to represent Fianna Fail ahead of Ireland South MEP Billy Kelleher.
Mr Moloney says it's time the people moved on from the Mahon Tribunal and subsequent economic crash:
