Irish Taoiseach to Appear on TV Game Show

An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, is to appear on a special celebrity version of Who wants to be a Millionaire? on RTE.

It is an unsurprising move for a politician famed for going to any lengths to appeal to potential voters. Mr. Ahern regularly goes to the opening of envelopes and has even appeared as a panalist on the Premiership Soccer TV show.

For his Who wants to be a Millionaire? appearance, the Taoiseach will not get any special treatment except that his 3 life lines will all be "phone a friend".
