The millennium had us all a tizz. The Millennium Bug, Millennium clock and lots more.
Here in late 1999 Bertie Ahern gives us the “Taoiseach’s Special Millennium Message”.
The first paragraph of Berties Tome……
“A new hour, a new day, a new dawn and a new age. Our millennium will be different and special to each and every one of us – whether we work in the home, in a factory or on a farm, in the emerging technologies, because we will be working together for one ideal. But we will be united in seeking to work together for that one ideal, a better more equal and caring society… ”
Enjoy the rest….

Regards from Bertie- Letter looking for support for the Brother Maurice Ahern -2009 Local Elections,Dublin Central By-Election May 11, 2010
From 2009 and Bertie Ahern writes to voters in Dublin Central asking for a vote for the Brother Maurice Ahern in both the By Election and the local elections.
Bertie as ever in Dublin Central writes ‘Dear Neighbour’ as opposed to ‘Dear Voter’.
“I am writing to thank you for the kindness and encouragement that has been extended to me…”
The content is of course as personal as ever. The elections give Bertie ‘a great opportunity to meet local residents and to catch up with you news and views…”
He then goes on to ask for a vote for Maurice Ahern in both the Local Elections and the by-election.
Maurice Ahern finished fifth in the by-election on just 12.26% of the vote and also failed to win a seat in the Local Elections.
