Kerrymen and RTE presenters is in fashion these days it seems or are they just close friends

JonathanAnon

Someone really should have a quiet with with Miriam, she looked look a fly half in drag in the intro.

JonathanAnon

Sean Gallagher thinks it's an exam

Kerrydude1981

I know its been used before but I think its priceless

AlmightyCushion

Miriam just asked Dana if there was a bill that implemented €1b worth of cuts in social welfare, would she refuse to sign off on it. I thought finance bills skipped the president.

MagicMarker

lol, Miriam, straight to the point!!

JonathanAnon

fukn hell, Miriam has just taken it up a notch..

Chibodee

Wow what a comment from Miriam....she just cut Martin McGuinness to the core!

Teclo

Miriam gets Martin to tell us what a good Catholic he is. :rolleyes:

Kerrydude1981

How many more times do we have to listen to Martins life story

AlmightyCushion

What the hell does any of this nonsense have to do with the presidential debate.

DrumSteve

Miriam... what an idiot."you're a republican... you know who did that"

GoldFour4

Miriams questions are just silly so far. Does it really mattter if the future president goes to confession?? Think shes fairly biased against Martin M with a lot of her remarks.

MitchKoobski

She just handed some lot of first choices to McGuinness, that was ridiculous.



Aaaaand here comes Gay again...

JonathanAnon

This is getting interesting... Very curious remark by Norris there, was it actually complimentary?

It may be bias, I think she's just trying to be controversial though, it all seems a bit forced.

all 7 candidates are rubbish, we should get Simon Gowell(cowell) to run an x-factor type contest for the President!!!

You really want Jedward as president?

Mitchell's best performance of the campaign imo. Banging on about McG but doing it well.

It was a trick question.

JonathanAnon

I heard this about Gallagher today... Sounds like he deliberately set up a new company so that he could forgo the debts owed by the first company to the state... He may have not done anything legally wrong, but it was certainly morally wrong.

MitchKoobski

He's a "ballsy" businessman... the entrepreneurial type we need don't ya know... definitely NOT a politician :rolleyes:

Jess16

I really dislike Martin McG's boorish, bullying manner. In addition to his appalling involvement with murders that is. Shocking to think he could be considered as a representative for anything really

Optimisty

Miriam looking as good as ever.

McGuinness shameful, and she aint afraid to show it. Good for her!

Iquestion if he is even a member of the human race let alone the Presidential one.

Really undecided on the others so far... listen and learn i guess.

JonathanAnon

Why is Miriam trying to put them up against each other?

Teclo

Gallagher talks, I start snoozing....

MitchKoobski

This has just turned into Candidates vs Miriam hahaha

Kerrydude1981

Dana looks lost listening to Micheal D

Optimisty

to see who is fit for the debate i guess, keep a cool collected head and composure, not point the finger at her and go red with rage ....no name needed LOL

epgc3fyqirnbsx

Michael D is head and shoulders above the rest with regard to knowledge of the role

I don't mind Gallagher, he's FF through and through but can someone tell me in what way membership of a political party can influence the presidential role? It's quasi-political surely

I want to walk in there and take Dana by the hand and just say "You've had enough love, time for a Horlicks then off to bed with you. Grown ups are talking"

Optimisty

Optimisty

hahaha yes, he is bad, would you even put your name up with his history ?

3 state boards as a volunteer, hardly dirt on her is it ?

twincamman

Degag

Dana might as well go home. Hasn't spoken in about 15 minutes.

I wonder will she wave it in the air tonight?

mossyc123

Fair play to Mitchell for pointing out that there's nothing shameful about being an FF member.

Backbench TD's had little to do with policy direction of the Government so how people manage to blame ordinary members for the bad decisions made baffles me...

Optimisty

perfect timing just hit the ad break ...all sing along now
