Atlantic Dawn · 23-10-2018 09:08PM

Will Gavins uninsured car crash be his RTE attack topic, will David ask each candidate what they think about driving uninsured?

Duffy is such a kind and reasonable man.........how could anyone not vote for such a paragon of virtue?:rolleyes:

If Casey was articulate he'd be dangerous

He's making his point badly, why do travellers have a bloody BUDGET!!!!

I've heard better informed political debates at 2.30am in Coppers.

Bring on Friday. This "debate" is an embarrassment. WTF happened to this country?

Casey is a bumbling mess. He cannot even form a coherent sentence. The council's that allowed a bollox like him go forward should hang their heads in shame.

Oh but sure he tells it like it is...

Yeah I agree with his sentiments about the welfare state we have become but Casey is a sensationalist , pure and simple. He is inarticulate .

Do they expect our predsident to fly Ryanair ? Most foreign presidents in other countries have private jets. What’s the big deal ?? I’m sure Leo uses it all the time FFS !!
I had been going to vote Casey but now it’s Michael D all the way !!

Irish Americans arent illegal they are undocumented...

_Kaiser_ · 23-10-2018 09:09PM

This is ridiculous.. Agree with him or not, allowing all the other candidates to attack Casey - aided by the supposed moderator - is farcical

If MD is so concerned about young male Travellers, why doesn’t he invite them to live with him.

Maybe they have 11 years less is due to the lifestyle they choose to live. But no it’s everyone else’s fault.

Maybe it's because there family tree is circular

RTÉ just have to bring Casey down.

Such bias.

Drifter50 · 23-10-2018 09:10PM

In fairness, Casey is coming out of this quite well

ThunbergsAreGo · 23-10-2018 09:10PM

Point to Casey

"Generalizations" "Tarring them all with the same brush"

Have an ould look at the stats there on this community's crime rate and unemployment, bothering to pay taxes etc. What do they get for this, free houses and free money from the government and to be treated better than the common man of this country.

Sneaky prick Casey: grinning "we all make mistakes, Gavin".
Can't stand the guy.

fritzelly · 23-10-2018 09:10PM

Here we go - taking some cues from Leo

SEPT 23 1989 · 23-10-2018 09:10PM

Very little spent on travellers LOL

fred funk }{ · 23-10-2018 09:10PM

Yes peter, spot on.

The only way MDH fails to get elected is if he dies pre election, inauguration.

The best plan the others could make is try and wind him up enough that he might fall seriously ill.
