Bertie had slow starting pause, but a good speech.

Kenny good as well, but not as good. (v. close though)

Enda just hit the same notes again.

Taoiseachship... A crime against the Irish language there...

The_Minister

Bertie, brilliant handling of first question.

Enda is not answering the question well.

You can already tell that Miriam is a better chair.

The Irish language is a crime against the Irish language...

Anyways, he's repeating himself too much for my liking. What he's saying is good, but he's said it so many times before.

Jackz

Tourism Enda you don't have the experience.

_Kaiser_

Enda's already repeating himself too and the debate is only on 10 mins

He's rambling and not managing to evade the question well enough. The experience issue is a problem there and Bertie is emphasising his experience in every answer highlights it. Still a very long way to go though.

The_Minister

Much tamer so far

easyontheeye

Enda may be more poised and articulate as a speaker...but he talks some sh1te!

Time Magazine

Bertie focusing on the economy. Arguing a point that FG will be strong on, but the one fear of the nation.

funktastic

Wow, Kenny aint answering well at all.

brianthebard

Enda stumbles the ball!

I thought kenny started off much better, bertie was clearly very nervious.

No shocks in the opening speaches, kenny going on about his contract and bertie his experiance

nesf

Enda is going into De Valera mode, next he'll be telling us that he looked into his heart and saw what the Irish people wanted when making out his contract.

Jackz

Take your yankie contract and stuff it.

The_Minister

"you might say its madness, you might say its courage"
Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!! I couldn't take five years of that ****.

easyontheeye

ooooohh now its the finances..... :eek:

The_Minister

Bertie takes the money question well.


Edit: Oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh, wait a minute

2nd EDIT: B still answering very well. Nailed those questions

Gary ITR

Kenny is not impressing me at all

Time Magazine

Miriam putting it up to him on the money front, fair play to her.

Hehe "It was only resting in my account!"

donal66

Micheal Wall comes to haunt bertie again.

brianthebard

If Kenny has any smarts he should be able to point to the Mahon tribunal as a prime example of how FF have wasted money and how FG won't.

Gary ITR

Bertie is handling the money questions well

Jackz

Why did you spend so much time in the dail asking Bertie about his finances Enda if you believe that it is the business of the tribunal and you are only interested in the issues.

Gary ITR

kenny looks fierce nervous and he's stumbling quite a bit

The_Minister

Enda promises legislation that already exists......

won't judge B

_Kaiser_

Enda just isn't coming off well at all. Bertie ftw I think..

Enda is trying to come across as cool as a cucumber where as Bertie is just been himself
