Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern enjoys last Garth Brooks gig in Croke Park

Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern was in the busy Croke Park crowd for the final night of Garth Brook's gigs.

The former Fianna Fail politician was lucky enough to watch Garth go out with a bang, much to the delight of fans. It comes after Taoiseach Michael Martin confirmed he would be open to him returning to the party.

Garth Brooks wowed the lucky audience when he ran out with a tri-colour on stage. He said that he would love to come back to Ireland soon, even if it was just as a "fellow coulchie."

One person said: "A great leader and statesman .last Taoiseach to take a serious interest in the North , instrumental with the good Friday agreement."

Another wrote: "Congratulations on finding a cowboy to keep you company during Garth Brooks."
