" I couldn't have, in good conscience, accepted that"

Bertie's reply to a question on what would have happened if Mick Wall had died and he had been bequethed the house.

If he had died, he(Wall) wouldn't be in front of the tribunal to tell them that.

Not enough dying going on.

*Now reread replacing the verb die with lie.

Dead people come back to haunt you.
Alive people come back to bite you in the ass.

The will said that the house, in the event of Bertie's death, would go to his daughters.

And Bertie is saying he was not the owner of the house? Bertie's evidence, as amended, would seem designed to ensure no tax liabilities, rather than to make any sense.
"Reeling in the Years" yesterday evening showed a younger Bertie as Finance Minister saying that the State should show "no mercy" to tax evaders.

If Micheal Wall had died we would of course have known all about this as the Grant of Probate would have the Will attached and would be available to all in the Probate Office. Very shoddy method of giving a bribe if you ask me.
