RTE Prime Time Presidential Debate Tues 23.10.18

Skid X · 2018-10-23 20:33:32

David McCullagh chairs the penultimate debate, and the last one to feature the incumbent President. Billed to start at 9.45, so it doesn't clash with the Champions League.

My point at the time was that they are all getting well paid, where as the OP said they weren't.

But on your point, Ministers decide based on the advice they are given. They don't go and try to understand complex matters in detail themselves - they trust what they are told.

Ministers choose their advisors, so they need to choose people they can trust.
