WTF?
Ahern does not feel pressure over aid
The Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, has said he does not feel under any additional pressure to raise Ireland's level of overseas aid in the wake of the weekend's Live 8 concerts.
Mr Ahern said it was not possible to raise it from €600 million to €1.4 billion as he would not be able to explain such an increase to the Irish people.
Mr Ahern made his comments after a meeting in Dublin with the Canadian Prime Minister, Paul Martin.
