Ahern is a patron of CARI,[3] a child therapy and counselling organisation.[4][5]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Miriam married Fianna Fáil politician Bertie Ahern in St. Columba's Church, Iona Road in 1975.[6][1] They had two children, Georgina, who would marry Westlife's Nicky Byrne, and Cecelia, an author and screenwriter.[7][8] Their separation in 1992,[9] was thought by commentators to have affected his party leadership prospects in that year, ultimately choosing not to oppose Albert Reynolds.[10][11] The circumstances of their separation, and the lack of a personal bank account for the then Minister for Finance was the subject of political turmoil during the final year of Bertie's term as Taoiseach.[12]
