By Damien Gayle PUBLISHED: 11:11 EST, 22 March 2012 | UPDATED: 11:11 EST, 22 March 2012 Payments: Bertie Ahern, the former Irish prime minister, took nearly 210,000 euros in secret payments while in office and lied about them Former Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern took at least 209,779 euros (£174,764) in secret payments while in office and repeatedly lied about them under oath, an inquiry has found. In a long-awaited end to an investigation into payments to politicians in the Republic, three judges also found two other former Fianna Fail lawmakers guilty of corrupt acts. They stopped short of finding Ahern guilty of corruption because they found no evidence the veteran politician gave favours to any of his cash donors.
