    Because the prime time debate on now is about Dublin tonight, I'm sure yesterday the candidate for one of the other areas had their promo.

    So I'm now being obliged to watch privileged Dubs moan about matters within the Pale?

    Cork's in the south though, so it had to be worth watching.

    Helpful hint: this also works for non-Dublin politicians.

    Every bloody 4 years we get a blow by blow account of the US elections forced into us by the Irish media.

    This I also don't care about.

    The media reports things that a lot of people don't care about...

    You're watching it because Dublin population-wise is completely out of sync with the rest of the country
