Final presidential debate - Virgin 1

_Kaiser_

What, no thread?

Off to a good start anyway...

Mam of 4

Don't know if I can face another one after last night

Hurrache

Yates and Cooper setting the tone right from the off which should make for a bit of entertainment anyway.

Ivan well prepared with all the extra expenses she also earns, LNR trying to fob it all off

sonic85

Liadh has some cheek attacking others while drawing down over 200k in expenses. The neck of her

_Kaiser_

Pompous Poet.. love it

Ivan hitting them hard on MDH

Wheeliebin30

Matt cooper is another champagne socialist who never reads anything critical of the left on his show.

Another one who is removed from the everyday life of people in Ireland.

Patser

Fecking Ivan tearing them all apart for being inept!!

I can see him and Casey having a stand up row in a while

Sir Oxman

Way better than that drivel last night
Yates going at them (and the "pompous poet")

Graniteville

Ivan Yates for president.

Place bets now for 2025

Sparko

Wow 12 minutes before a 2011 mention.

The two of them will be off for pints, they're cut from the same cloth.

He's up at a music session in Donegal with his supporters, not exactly official business

It's past his bedtime.

I don't like Ivan but he's gas here! Setting the cat among the pigeons!

fritzelly

Loving this debate, thank god no bland rte debates

Hurrache

At this rate there'll be no candidates left in the studio with all the cut jugulars.

Ivan is great... this is far better and to the point than either Pat Kenny or that host last night on RTE

Badly miss him on Newstalk Breakfast with Chris

Can anyone actually vote for him after this cowardly ****e?

It's massively unfair and massively arrogant

If you read the AH Casey thread you'll see that there are indeed people who'll vote MDH regardless.

He might as well abandon serious politics here and have the craic and wind them up. How could you take this lot so seriously as candidates at this stage

Hurrache

Wait, there was a case between him and RTE? I don't believe he mentioned that before.

Wheeliebin30

Michael D is a sly little coward avoiding this debate.

He knew.

Sir Oxman

Thumbhead is an awful spoofer

mgn

Gallagher is like a big baby.Withdraw them comments.
A lot better debate than the rubbish last night.

Neames

Just tuned in there now.

I see Casey smirking away while Sean Gallagher was talking.

I can't help thinking of Father Jack every time I see him.

Wheeliebin30

Poor Matt is so upset peter has moved up the polls.

You’re only on 2%.

This is why people will vote for PC.

Pontificating from these champagne socialists.

Forget the people who will vote for him, he should be HAMMERED in the media for it

It's grossly unfair

Presenters very good BUT it's unfair Higgins avoids it all, yet Gallagher is hammered for missing one

Where's MD? Is the desk a bit too high?

Except that the media (like FG, FF and the rest) have adopted him as well in this campaign.

Musician Sean Gallagher will perform...

Did Gallagher just claim he's responsible for thousands of jobs because he's a landlord???

Patser

The Talking Bread wrote: »

Knew that Ivan and Matt would be far more direct and less accommodating of long winded answers, and Ivan especially good at getting under people's skins. You could see Higgins getting wound up in the subdued debates he attended. Imagine tonight with Yates hammering him. Look at Yates' intorduction of Higgins as over the hill, with expenses hanging over him

Neames

Matt asking Casey why he doesn't like Gallagher even though Gallagher visited him in hospital.

Dear God...What is this about?

That's the implication. Did it last night too.

Ah for FFS Liadh STFU. Constantly moaning

Ivan to Joan - We know, we know you're up for sainthood but......

Brilliant!!
