"The Irish Election is underway, and the YouTube Newstalk Digital Debate is your opportunity to put questions to the party leaders."

Most popular questions:

Will your party commit to leagalising and taxing cannabis for personal use, thereby generating a significant new source of tax revenues, saving Gardai and court resources, and allowing access to those with a medical need?

Why does our Taoiseach have a higher salary than the President of the United States of America? And the UK's Prime Minister? We're a country of only 4 million people, being told to tighten or belts and at the same time the Taoiseach earns a fortune.

For god's sake, can't we be rid of the ridiculous blasphemy law?

Anyone submitting video?

Everyday we are seeing successful businesses close due to extortionate rent rates that are non negotiable due to clauses in leases. How will your government tackle this issue, both to maintain existing business and encourage new business?

Would it not be wise to bring various economists to the cabinet? People with real financial know-how. Also, why not have politicians appointed to ministerial jobs according to their qualifications
