	Irish arrangements: a prime minister and his 'companion.'.(Bertie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It became an issue, but only briefly, at the time of Ahern's election as leader of the Fianna Fail party, when the man he displaced, Albert Reynolds, expressed none too subtly the view that the Irish people were entitled to know where their leader slept at night.
		Larkin is now a paid public official in Ahern's office, looking after his constituency organization.
		Both arguments are somewhat shaky: In particular, Ahern disclosed the nature of his relationship with Larkin publicly in 1992, and has referred to it directly on a number of other occasions since then.

		Two years ago, at the height of the O'Flaherty affair, Celia Larkin telephoned press photographer Eamonn Farrell to tell him that she was about to go to the O'Flaherty home to commiserate with Mrs O'Flaherty over her husband's enforced resignation as a Supreme Court judge.
		From sharing top tables with the most powerful men on the planet, Larkin was reduced to peeking at the guest of honour from the sidelines, her banishment as deliberate as it was cruel.
		Larkin's absence from the Rome consistory had prompted comment, so it was inconceivable that Ahern and his advisers were unaware of the sensitivities of the issue.

	Why Celia Larkin will never sell her story - Analysis, Opinion - Independent.ie
		In a year that must go down as one of the worst in Celia Larkin's life, she has certainly demonstrated that she is a strong woman to have come through it with a positive outlook.
		These days, Celia is concentrating on putting all her energy into making a success of the Beauty at the Blue Door clinic, a salon that is now thriving, despite the early start-up financial losses.
		Of course, Celia could make a lot of money if she ever changed her mind and decided to write a book about her years with Bertie, but it looks like she will follow the example of Bertie's ex-wife Miriam and keep her mouth shut.

		The Tribunal has been informed that Bertie’s bus driver on the night in Manchester (for I think it is he) gave £30,000 to Celia Larkin in cash.
		The money was placed by Ms Larkin in an account in her name and was used to fund work on a house in Drumcondra owned at the time by Mr Wall and being rented by Bertie Ahern, the tribunal has been informed.
		Most of what she is likely to reveal is already known, or, at least, the subject of conjecture, just as in the case of Bertie’s mentor, C.J. Haughey, one of Ireland’s most infamous crooks.
