OUR FORMER LEADER Bertie Ahern is set to be a grandad again after his daughter Georgina and her husband Nicky Byrne announced that they’re expecting their third child.

Bertie is already pops to six-year-old twins Jay and Rocco, and to three-year-old Robin and baby Sonny – his daughter Cecilia’s kids.

Say what you like about Bertie (keep it clean please) but we’re guessing he’d make a top notch grandad.

Here’s why:

1. He’s got some interesting pals

It could be you, Bill, Hillser, Chelsea and Grandad Bertie all hanging around together.

2. He might write a book about you

Well, he wrote one about himself.

And he might tell your da to get a proper pair of jeans while he’s at it (Niall Carson/PA Wire)

3. People would always be producing the ‘going-out biscuits’ when you went visiting

4.He’d have loads of time for you

Sure didn’t Micheál Martin say recently that Bertie has no input in Fianna Fáil party policy?

That leaves loads of time to be taking you to the zoo and other grandad-esque outings.

5. You might get called after him

9. He’d play keepy uppies  with you
