By SHAWN POGATCHNIK, Associated Press DUBLIN (AP) Former Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern announced Sunday he has resigned from the Fianna Fail party rather than be expelled over an investigation into secret payments he received while in office,toms sale, but vowed to clear his name. Ahern, 60, denounced the findings of a 15-year investigation organized by Ahern's own government into bribery and corruption in Irish political life. The three judges overseeing the fact-finding effort issued a final report Thursday that found Ahern collected more than 200,000 ($260,000) in secret while in office; tried to stop the public learning the truth about the money squirreled away in two safes and third-party bank accounts; and provided unbelievable explanations for how he accrued the cash in three currencies. "I believe a grave injustice has been done to me," Ahern said in a statement to the Sunday Independent newspaper. "It would be far easier for me to say nothing and try to forget about this nightmare. But I can't allow this blemish on my character to go unanswered," said Ahern, who declined to specify what legal or other action he planned to take. Ahern, who was Fianna Fail leader from 1994 to 2008 and Ireland's prime minister from 1997 to 2008, said he was "deeply saddened" to face an expulsion motion and would resign instead. "The last thing I want to do, given that I have now retired as a public representative, is to be a source of political division in the party I care so deeply about," said Ahern, who represented central Dublin in Dail Eireann,cheap toms shoes sale, Ireland's parliament, from 1977 to 2011. But Fianna Fail's justice spokesman, Dara Calleary, said the party's executive had yet to receive Ahern's resignation letter and still planned to vote to expel him at a meeting this Friday in punishment for Ahern's unacceptable money-collecting record. During 15 days of testimony in 2007 and 2008, Ahern was repeatedly caught misleading the judges about the extent of his hidden money, as well as an ill-documented agreement that allowed him to live in a home technically owned by a benefactor. Ahern eventually was forced to admit collecting hundreds of thousands in cash that he kept in two safes in his office and home in the early 1990s when he was Ireland's finance Related articles:
