Haughey, Ahern, Gaddafi: The Full List Of Politicians Coached By Ivan Yates

WITH ongoing revelations into the nature of Ivan Yates’ professional relationship with Fianna Fáil politicians emerging, WWN’s team of investigators has obtained what insiders claim is the full list of politicians he has trained over the years, detailing a long history of controversial coaching.

Meeting our Fianna Fáil source in a basement car park in Dublin, the insider – nicknamed “Shnake” for anonymity purposes – handed us a thick, grubby file to read from only, warning that “this goes all the way to the top.”

“That Golfgate thing? Should have been called ‘Yates-gate’,” the source revealed, anxiously looking around the dimly lit car park and pointing to names on the list. “Instrumental in the arms thing with Gaddafi in ’69 too. He has Shergar taxidermied in his front room.”

As we read through the file, our source became increasingly nervous, jumping when a nearby car alarm went off.

“Man, he set Ivor Callely up… told Bertie to deny he had bank accounts – basically anything that ever went wrong for Fianna Fáil, it was Yates behind it all,” the source continued, his slight Cork accent breaking with fear, sounding oddly familiar. “Look, I don’t have much time. He’s probably watching us right now. Just make sure this gets out. The people need to know Fianna Fáil aren’t the bad guys here… it was just him behind it all and not Mee… not anyone else in charge, okay?”

Slithering back into the shadows, Shnake turned once more, both hands outstretched as if holding an invisible football.

“Also, a-a-any bad things that come out about our fearless leader – also Yates,” he stuttered, before fleeing into the night.
