Lapin · 2014-05-18 21:39:01

It will be interesting to see how long Lorainne Higgins can go without interrupting Ming. Constituency and candidates.

This thread will be better than County Hurler's one.

That's a promise.

No austerity here.

I beg of you people, I will do everything for the people once they support my thread ... It's Lapin's way, or CountyHurler's way...

My thread welcomes all.

Single Mothers, pot smokers and turf cutters alike.

Don't be taken in by County Hurler folks.

Of course it is :-) Dont accept any imposters..

You know I'd love if the Shinners were put in charge just to see how they would react with having to make decisions instead of playing cynical populist politics the whole time.. If they tried to implement their economic policies, they have to hit the Northern Bank again to balance the books after the first month.

I hope there's a second part to this with the rest of the candidates. Looks very dodgy to handpick six at the exclusion of the rest.

Disgraceful bias, it seems that Ming and Ben Gilroy weren't allowed on!!!! They are subs or something, absolutely reeking of predjudice!

RTE bias shining once again why are only those 6 allowed such a big platform? Why is Higgins their and not Ming, on polls Ming has more of a mandate to be their then Labor.

Lorraine definitely aiming for the Galway vote with her outfit.

Clever subliminal psychology going on there.

Lorraine FG says that water is a scarce resource LOL, it's bucketing down here in the east, almost every day. What planet is she on, she's not living in the real world.

Merged.

Welcome to the Lapin County Hurler coalition folks.

A lot done, more people to do !

David McCullough doing a good job here. He has much more control over them than VB had last week.

He shot himself in the foot there though by singing the virtues of the cheaper cost of living up north.

McCullough caught him out nicely.

Vincent had a larger creche in fairness.. But I like McCullough, he seems like he has a bit of a sense of humour as well..

Lorraine is a bit robotic, like a talking computer...

You think? I kinda want him to do well but he comes across as being very wet behind the ears.

It's ridiculous that Ming isn't there. It makes a joke of the whole thing. Even Sean O'Rourke seemed vexed on Friday that he's not on the panel. That ignoramus Marian Harkin doesn't even know the name of the presenter of the debate. Lorraine Higgins is like a robot with all of her pre-programmed answers. The annoying thing is that she'll go back to her nice cosy sinecure seat in The Seanad when she fails to get elected next week. Complete and utter joke.

Mairead McGuinness is a good woman... She's sharp, knows her stuff, and I think she genuinely wants to do good... I think her schoolteacher type image doesnt help her though..

What a pathetic shower of self serving and entitled assess. The only candidate on the stage who is likeable or seems the least bit interested in doing anything other then getting that nice pension is the Sinn Fein candidate.
