    If Fianna Fail say vote Yes - then that automatically means we should vote NO !

    The thing I dont get is that countries can sign up to this treaty at any time. So lets say down the road we need a bailout, why not sign up then?

    Surely we should only give up more sovereignty if we really really have to?

    Never get why Donohoe is wheeled out so much for media appearances.

    I sometimes think that our politicians actually want to give away all our sovereignty so they don't even have to pretend to do anything anymore except pass a few years up in the big city until they draw a large pension and gratuity.

    Funnily enough, I was just saying that to someone today.

    Expect that to resurface almost straight away after the vote - fines, reminders etc.

    After which vote, first or second ?

    Does this start @ 10:45pm every Thursday night now. I didn't realise that I missed a half an hour of this show tonight after watching the Mentalist. Why did VB put this show fifteen minutes longer?

    It started at 10.45pm but it didn't "really" start. There was a brief intro to what they would be discussing and then there was a break for the news. After that there was an ad break. It didn't really start till 10.55pm.

    Listening to that eejit Paschal has made me decide to vote No.

    There's a lot of people, who are on the public pay bill, doing a lot of brave talk about "sticking it to Europe" about voting NO.... They'd better be careful what they wish for, it is singularly because of the bailout cheques coming from Europe that we are not having ...

    - HUGE cuts in public sector wages.
    - HUGE cuts in public sector numbers.
    - HUGE cuts in all benefits..

    If Europe pulls funding then we have to balance our books immediately or get funding from another source... And tbh, the sooner that people stop funding the ridiculous spending in this country, the better..

    I dislike how they show the movement since the General Election, just because Millward Brown haven't had a Poll since then.

    Sinn Fein were on 21% in an MRBI poll in April, it's not like there has been an overnight surge to them. If anything Sinn Fein support has fallen in the last month.

    I think that is a first for Dunphy to call Roy Keane a pain in the @rse. It doesn't look like it is a joke either.

    Sexist? huh? It's trying to appeal to the Irish people - that's what the woman who is selling off her husband represents. She's getting rid of the dumb, bloated, golf playing sack of **** - which represents those in the Dail - on a second hand stuff website. She feels no real loss, she's happy to get a deal to be rid of him. It's a vote No ad dressed up like a real ad with a twist of controversy so that some people miss the point.

    My crisp sandwich: the soft white bread represents the Yes voters. Once bitten, never shy - they'll vote Yes again on round two. The crisps represent the no voters - brittle, unpredictable, smothered in MSG for drama. The couple of slices of cheese I add in, with a dollop of mustard, represent the European plutocracy that fools us into thinking we live in a democracy, when really they are the centre of the sandwich from beginning to end.

    That Paschal fella is a complete and utter tool. Its no wonder the government is so spineless when it comes to negotiating with the ECB and Merkel if he's an example of the mental midgets that form their ranks.

    I'm surprised Vinny didn't mention it as he has done quite a few programmes on the Dublin/Monaghan Bombings.

    He was on the scene with his brother in the immediate aftermath of the Talbot Street bomb carrying wounded victims to safety.

    He has told of how one well known hotel refused to let them bring an injured person in to wait on an ambulance as the blood would stain the lobby floor.

    That's astonishing. Couldn't agree less with you.

    What about Siobhan? Her eagerness to contribute is in inverse proportion to her corrigibility to reason.

    What about Vincent wanting us to vote no /not to vote in case the Treaty is changed while Constantin wants a no vote because the Treaty will be changed after we vote yes

    Nothing in what you have said offers any evidence that Pascal Donohue made a worthwhile contribution to last night's debate. I think he is a waffler who offers very little in his contributions.
