Yeah I think he's announcing the date he intends to step down which should probably be sooner rather than later.

Personally I think it's a shame I thought he did a good job as Taoiseach but it seems that to be a good leader you also have to have your flaws as well a lá Haughey and Clinton.

The Grainne Carruth incident was the straw that broke the camel's back and his credibility was shot after that and when that goes you cannot lead a Country anymore!

[Donagh]

Breaking news on radio six counties. Interrupted normal programming to bring the Bertsters resignation speech.

6th May 2008 he goes

[Declan]

Knew he wouldn't go before the gig in the States!! And he has no ego

[AZOffaly]

I always said it would be after he addressed congress. When is that? (I hope I have a post here where I said it )

[Zapatista]

You do the crime you do the time. So long Bertie you won't be missed.

[AZOffaly]

Will this stop the mis-spelled thread continuing too? That'll be good

[Shamrock Shore]

I would like to welcome the return of a rural Taoiseach.

Step forward Biffo - your time has come.

[Gnevin]

What odds would it get on Bertie to chair the Dublin County Board?

[AZOffaly]

Step 1 of the Biffo bid for global domination has commenced. Now if we get aul' Barack O'Bama into the Teach Bán we'll be sorted.

I'm not convinced the Cowen will be automatically elected by the parliamentary party

[Dinny Breen]

Noooo!!!!! Not a Biffooooooooo!!!!!!

[stephenite]

Can't believe that he's going so soon - expected to him go maybe in 12 months, not next month!! Must be something big coming in the tribunal

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Saying that Cowen, Hafferan and M. Martin are all in with a shout.

I'll miss the red nosed one, even if none of the rest of you will.
Bye bye Bertie, have a pint of plain on me.
