Scope and content
Print of Bertie Ahern standing beside newspaper board with headline 'The Most Cunning of Them All' Headline is also on a Northside People newspaper by Graham Knuttel
Graham Knuttel painted gently satirical pictures of all the Taoisigh. This painting references Ahern’s reputation as a man of the people – his famous anorak, that pub in Drumcondra opposite his constituency office. Charlie Haughey’s much quoted description – “The Most Cunning of Them All” – refers to the other side of Ahern’s reputation.
