    Pat Kenny coming across as an absolute prick here

    For what? Trying to get a balanced show and pulling people up for lying?

    He's done a great job imho.

    I can see someone from the audience invading the main stage before it ends.

    :pac:

    Pat who at times is known for his plankisms showed RTE how a professional debate is chaired, fair play.

    Please, send a witty come back I need something to laugh me to sleep.

    Your opinion is that abusive comments are fine once you agree with the position of the person making them. Morality is a lose concept in your mind it would seem, so yeah your opinion eludes me.

    Oh I have

    Doesn't sound like it, can only go by your reply.

    Maria is flapping! She looks arrogant and dismissive now.

    She is arrogance personified. :mad:

    He fact checked the rubbish live on air. Pretty remarkable if you ask me. I thought he did the best of any of the debate moderators.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,860 ✭✭✭Mrsmum


    Pat definitely a yes voter. His mission tonight was to neutralise Maria Steen. They have previous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,729 ✭✭✭tigger123


    No side having their lies challenged =/= a biased debate.

    Are you kidding me? He gave the no side plenty of airtime. How dare he call out their nonsense and put them to task.

    It. Is. None. Of. Your. Business.

    I don't care what you think is wrong.

    The women carrying dying children could give two sh!ts what you think is wrong.
    Somebody wants to bomb an old folk's home.
    It. Is. None. Of. Your. Business.
    That's exactly how little sense your argument makes.

    I thought it would be fact checked or and that the Nos would lose time in Part 3? Is there more?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    Ronan Mullen is such a cretin it defies logic. The way he spoke to the girl who went to Birmingham was so uncalled for


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 40,087 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Do the "No" side see Ronan Mullen as an asset to their campaign?

    It was either him or Mattie McGrath :eek:

    I'm partial to your abracadabra
    I'm raptured by the joy of it all



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭Balmed Out


    Got the feeling Miriam voting no and Pat yes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,765 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    As with the marriage ref employing the figure heads of Iona and their patrons probably wasn't the best idea. Where was Brida O'Brien during all this? Was she demoted after the marragie ref?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,838 ✭✭✭RabbleRouser2k


    That doctor with the mad eyebrows reminds me of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

    The woman in red clearly showed her bias there-Pat was having none of it...

    It is after hours after all. But, the burn you feel won't go away. I apologise for that and next time I will use a suitable lubricant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Call me Al


    Indeed.

    RTE didn't allow them to speak a single word last week on Claire Byrne.

    No But they were talked about at length. While they sat there looking on. How disrespectful was that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,800 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    I can see someone from the audience invading the main stage before it ends.

    Where's this guy when you need him?

    How is your life going to be negatively affected if you don’t get to bomb an old folks home?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,068 ✭✭✭Specialun


    pat is defo a yes voter. in my opinion he was biased in how he handled the debate. that guy on tne panel for the no side is a bell.end

    I’d trust her to make her own decisions about her own healthcare.

    I wouldn’t dream of letting her have an input on mine, though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 198 ✭✭BarleySweets


    That was epic. Same format as Claire Byrne’s debate but he absolutely schooled her on how to handle a rowdy audience and interruptions from the debaters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,406 ✭✭✭alan partridge aha


    This might be a better debate with 4 good debaters


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,784 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I've never seen pat Kenny show what for him is personality. That Ronan Mullen comment won't go down well for its tone.

    Well in fairness, Walter White would have a very interesting answer to that question :pac:
