    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.

    If she's the agreed candidate for the No side what is the problem.

    RTE have no obligation to make a "star" out of robots like Maria Steen who have been groomed and media trained from birth for this job.

    Harris agreed to debate Sherlock, RTE agreed to host it. Sherlock realised she'd be eaten alive and did a legger, boo hoo.

    I can't wait until next week when it will all be over i can't take much more of this.

    Agree with you 100%. I'm out of the country from Friday to Sunday morning and I'm delighted. Have it in my head that it'll all be over by the time I come back but I'm probably wrong.

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

    Ok I'll bite. Please explain for those of us in the cheap seats how Cora Sherlock pulling out has anything whatsoever to do with the Yes side, let alone constituting an own goal? I'm genuinely puzzled as to the logic here.

    RTE are appearing biased. Let her speak if the No side want her.

    Harris will need to get his anti repeal to pro repeal reasoning out in the open as early as possible..

    Otherwise it'll be used as a one size fits all rebuttal by whoever he debates

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

    Wouldn't be unknown... :pac:

    They got their man Michael D elected in a similar scenario.

    Maria Steen was due to appear on the Pat Kenny debate tomorrow night on TV3. But it appears she has pulled out of that as well.

    The No side imploding.

    There has been a pretty clear bias in favour of the Yes side in the media and RTE, in particular and that's coming from someone who would be a Yes voter.

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

    Im intrigued,what are the full facts?

    That Steen is on Pat Kenny's TV3 debate tomorrow, and was already booked before Sherlock's RTE withdrawal, so appears to have been a contrived stunt by No.

    The No side did something similar right before the Marriage Referendum as well. It's an attempt to portray themselves as victims, when really they are just losing the argument.

    The No doctor was really poor. Opposing the 2013 Act and then using it to further his argument.

    How so?
    Last week Claire Byrne let Maria Steen and others, shout down and drown out Yes supporters on her show.

    Some examples to back up your claim would be great.

    This is a fairly standard response from a broadcaster, and quite reasonable. I'm not a journalist, but from dealing with the media in work they don't like to recycle stories or speakers in a short period of time. It's about ratings and a fresh perspective. There was a mental health story about a suicide a year or two - the family went on Prime Time show during the week, they were then dropped from the Late Late Show because they broke the embargo - again, reasonable.

    It's confirmed that Maria Steen has pulled out of Pat Kenny debate tomorrow. So there must be something going on in the No camp. Imploding with days to go before the vote.

    RTE is clearly pro choice. After the disaster of the Claire Byrne show, they're going to make sure that Yes wins tonight
