    The no side wiped the floor with them the last time

    RTE won't let that happen again

    Impartiality? Absolute joke

    My money says Harris won't allow it.

    You either don't know the full facts or are deliberately trying to mislead people.

    What? We know RTE won't let the No side be represented by who the No side want.

    That's not RTE it's Harris he wouldn't have went on knowing Maria was going to be there. She'd eat him for breakfast and well he knows it.

    It's funny, yes side have scored an own goal before it even starts.

    Both sides were at that

    Roll on Saturday when it’s done. Such an important issue that’s been turned into a slagging match.

    The No side candidate refused to go on at the last minute, your issue is with them, not RTE, but sure what do you care about facts?

    I'm a No voter, but I think Harris might do well in a debate against whoever

    If she's the one nominated then put her on, what are they afraid of?

    I've wondering will there be some scrappage scheme for all the Repeal clothing and the Yes and No badges.

    Cora Sherlock agreed last Thursday to debate on tonight's programme, she pulled out a few hours ago. RTE is claiming they will not let Maria Steen on as she was on the CB show last week for a debate. RTE has also taken issue with either side dictating their line up.

    Not sure how you have worked that out? It's RTE that is taking issue not the Repeal groups.

    Because not allowing her on when she's backed by all the No groups is biased. If RTE are impartial they shouldn't have a problem and be glad of getting a good speaker at late notice.

    Yep she called him out personally about hiding. He agreed to debate with her, suddenly she is running away.

    Again how does it reflect badly on the Repeal groups. The issue is with RTE. As in when Google banned all ads from both sides it was Google who made the decision , neither campaigning group was responsible.

    Regardless of Sherlock's position, how can RTE decide who represents who?

    +1 Sherlock may look a fool for running away if she called him out, but Steen is their nominated rep

    They are saying they do not agree with either side dictating their line up.

    RTE are saying she had a go last week so she can't this week but they gave Boylan a second shot on the late late show.
    There being biased.

    Maria Steen is not everyone's cup of tea. Frankly she was somewhat unwatchable last time, so I wouldn't blame RTE. They want people to watch, not throw the TV out the window!

    Well if RTE can dictate the line up then it sounds like RTE are playing politics?

    Wouldn't be unknown... :pac:

    She's been given plenty of debate time, it's only right that there's a different panel.

    The obvious reason is that the No side have no confidence in Sherlock as she's been crying out for debate with Harris up until this point.

    Neither side have a right to say who goes on our TV, and you're big eejits if you think it's a conspiracy.

    LOL at pulling out references, if that was done there'd be no need for the refendum
